Yes, this can be a normal reaction to a diet change. It sounds as though Simba's system is not digesting this food well. Dogs are just like people, some do well on certain diets and others don't. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with that diet. It just means for whatever reason it is not agreeing with him. I'm not sure why you changed his diet in the first place but if his old diet was working well for him I would go back to that. If Simba was having an issue that prompted you to want to change the diet you are welcome to post again with a specific questions so we can try to steer you in the right direction. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
