Hi everyone ,
I just got my baby last Wednesday and the breeder was feeding him Royal Canin,
I want to switch him in to Fromm gold puppy but I don't know how to do it
He's 12 weeks old and weights 10 lbs. :)
Thank you so much
Karla

You have to do a gradual switch over a 7 to 10 day period. For the first 3 or 4 days, give him 75% old and 25% new, then the next 3-4 days, 50% old and 50% new, then the last 3 - 4 days, 75% new and 25% old and then after that, all new.

I personally would wait another couple weeks until your new baby got used to his new environment. Thats how I did it with Maple. She had so many things to adapt to I didnt want to add new food to this list as well.

You have some great advice above, so I have nothing to add, except. your baby is just too cute. :)

10lbs @ 12 weeks - sounds like he's doing OK as far as weight goes... giving time to settle in before switching couldn't hurt.
