Transitioning to Pro Plan
Allow 7–10 days to ease the transition from your dog's current food. Each day, feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Pro Plan until you're feeding Pro Plan exclusively. This gradual transition helps avoid dietary upsets. Always provide fresh water daily.
