Switching Dog food help?

Update:

I am switching dog foods, from Natural way to Diamond Naturals. But I am not sure how much to feed on day three. Im not that great at math, so if someone could help me out that would be great.

I feed 1.5 cups a day and on day 3 I feed- 40% New and 60% Old

Day 4- 50% new 50% old

Day 5- 60% new 40% old

Day 6- 75% new 25% old

So...my question is how much of the new food do I feed for each of those days If I feed her 1.5 cups a day?

Thanks

    You don't need to be that scientific and precise :) The first couple days, gradually increase the amount of new and decrease the amount of old so that the total is 1.5 cups. On day 4 you feed half old and half new, and the next couple days gradually increase new and decrease old. The point isn't that you need an *exact* amount each day, but that over the course of a week, you gradually increase the new and decrease the old. Nothing bad will happen if you don't have the exact proportions :)

    Do it gradually over a period of ten days to two weeks.
