It is quite common for puppies to experience soft stools or mild gastrointestinal upset after a sudden diet change. Their digestive systems are sensitive and need time to adjust to new ingredients. The best practice is to transition food gradually over 7-10 days, mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of the old food. If the soft stools persist beyond a few days, become watery, contain blood, or if your puppy shows other symptoms like lethargy or vomiting, consult your vet immediately to rule out other issues. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
