Recommended: Dogs have sensitive stomachs. We recommend switching your dog's/puppy's food gradually over one week, mixing the previous food with Gentle Giants as follows: Previous Dog Food - Gentle Giants Day 1: 80% - 20% 2: 70% - 30% 3: 60% - 40% 4: 50% - 50% 5: 40% - 60% 6: 30% - 70% 7: 20% - 80% 8: 100% Gentle Giants. We recommend that you feed your dog/puppy the same total daily amount that you have been feeding, but spread it over five or more smaller meals daily. Elevate all food and water bowls to a height so that your dog doesn't have to lean down, just has to tilt his/her head down to eat and drink. Feed food for 10-15 minutes, then remove food. Provide clean, fresh water at at all times. No stress, exercise or riding in a vehicle for at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after each meal.
