changing Bella's food.
Since being on this very helpful and informative forum, I have learned just how bad Bakers, wagg etc food is for our little demon angels. So I've taken the decision to change from bakers to Wainwrights. I still have some bakers left so im now mixing it up, ( bakers in the morning, Wainwrights for second meal, bakers for third and wainwrights for her last meal of the day) is this the right way to wean her off bakers? Or should I mix a bit of both in each meal? Also would like to ask, once I have her completely I'm guessing that its ok to stay with same brand but alternate flavours? She has Lamb and rice atm but next time I need to get more food can I just change to say turkey and rice? X

Mix the new food in with the old food at each meal time gradually adding more new to less old over about 7 - 10 days. Changing flavours would be Ok without the need to ween off each flavour before introducing a new one.

Good luck with the new food My parents alternate between flavours and they have had no problems! It may be best to stick with just 1 flavour to start with for a few weeks to make sure that she gets on ok with the new food!

Exactly what Kathy said, over the years, I've changed Zeus's food a number of times and used that method.
