Ten minutes isn't really enough for a good answer, be patient.

If it were me, I'd mix what food he has left of the food he is eating NOW with the other food, so he doesn't change totally, you know?

 

[Johnn]

yes i know what you mean but there isntthat much food left only tommorows food

How many days will he be out, one? Go get a couple samples or small bag of another similar food (what's he on? I work in the industry, can suggest for you) and do that. If it's a day or two, return the unused portion to the store and claim your dog disliked it, ALL dog food is guaranteed. This way your not out $$.

Or just chicken and rice for a day won't hurt

Eta: if hes extremely sensitive he will get diarrhea, otherwise nothing will happen. Again I can suggest a similar food.

well hell have to be off his normal dog food for a week so seven days and he is originally on iams and was on bakers before that and thats what he was going to be on for the week

I looked it up, that would be fine, very similar. Another option that's in similar quality/ingredients is science diet and nutro

where are you getting this, Petsmart?

I change brands all the time and it never seems to bother them, contrary to what the labels say. I also feed leftovers that would be wasted. Or do it the old fashioned way -- there was no such thing as commercial dog food before, I don't know, maybe 1940. Just feed table food and table scraps. Obviously, avoid a bunch of sugar and fat, though they will love some fat. Hopefully if they have a reaction it will only be a bit of a belly ache.
