How long should it take for a puppy to adjust to a new kibble? Kodee was switched to Innova Puppy slowly for about 1.5 wks and has been totally on it for 5 days. She likes it and her kibble intake has increased to about 1/3 cup, 3x a day (she was only eating about 1/8th on old kibble). However she wont eat any kibble dry so I add either: 1/4 tsp plain low fat yogurt, 1/2 tsp Canidae canned or 1/2 tsp pumpkin (she tolerates some pumpkin but not a big fan). Her stools were fine for the switch but about 2 days after the total switch her stools got soft. Not really loose - still formed just really soft. The pet store said to be patient it can take 2 wks after they are totally eating it. Is this right? I am concerned over the fact they were soft - they used to be perfect - but eating 1/8 c was just not enough.
I dont want to keep switching her - should I give it more time or is this telling me she cant handle it and I should try something else (I used Solid Gold Puppy for treats and she seems to like it, but I have not feed enough to know the result on stools.
