Add three quarters of their old food, and one quarter of the new food.

Day 2 – Again Add three quarters of their old food, and one quarter of the new food.

Day 3 – Add in another quarter, so you have half old food, half new food

Day 5 -  Then add in a third quarter (one quarter old, three quarters new)

Day 6 – one quarter old, three quarters new puppy food

Day 7 – Your puppy should now be completely on the new food
