If your pet has been on a diet for a long time they will need to be weaned over to the new diet slowly in order to not cause stomach upset. Follow the steps below to introduce the new diet gradually. If the new diet causes looser or less formed stools (poos) than usual, then please go back a day and wean over a longer period of time.
