you mix? And how long do you mix the ration before the 100% switcherooo. How is Nutra Ultra?

I would start really slow with just a bit and then maybe a bit more each day. My Otis's belly is very sensitive and going too fast can really set him off. I don't know vet recommended specifics but I'd say better to go too slow than too fast! Good Luck.

I think we mixed 75% old with 25% new, next 50, 50, and then 25% old 75% new. You can do this over several days or take a week, any sign of diarrhea, give more of old. Puppies or dogs prone to allergies you might want to take longer, otherwise it could be done in 4 days.
