On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

| DAYS 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| DAYS 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

Amazing Miracle Dog Food –
This is the best food for my french bulldog’s sensitive stomach. He gets all the nutrients that he needs but without dangerous fillers. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in his overall health, and THANKFULLY, with reduced flatulence!
Great experience –
My dog loves to eat and this food was recommended by his veterinarian a few years ago to maintain his weight. He loves this food, especially when I add a little water which makes a light gravy. It even smells good to me (I can’t say that for all dog foods). We also feed it to our other dog and she’s a big fan too !
