Your dog may be temporarily placed on a bland diet by your veterinarian. How does this factor into your typical NomNomNow feeding routine?

What To Expect During The First Week of Having a Dog
Dogs tend to get very excited about starting a fresh diet, so a little begging-for-more is to be expected. But we want the transition to fresh to be easy on their stomachs. That's why we recommend giving your dog half Nom Nom and half their current food for a week and gradually working your way up to full portions. This transition gives them the comfort of their current food while they experience the novelty and excitement of their new, fresh Nom Nom. So even if they beg, please stick to the transition plan, and know that they only want more because of the delicious flavor.
