Transitioning your dog to a new food should always be done gradually to avoid gastrointestinal upset like vomiting or diarrhea. Over 7-10 days, slowly increase the proportion of the new food while decreasing the old food. Start with 25% new food, 75% old food for a few days, then move to 50/50, then 75% new, 25% old, until eventually, you're feeding 100% new food. If any stomach upset occurs, slow down the transition. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
