My puppy has diarrhea after food change. Is it normal? What to do?

Question

Hello, my 6 week old American akita came home last Thursday night his poops were normal but I had to change his food and it was done within a 2 day transition. I know it messed with his stomach as now he has diarrhea. His stools have been loose since Saturday he doesn't go all day only about for 4 times in a day Maybe, he holds it until I take him out so it's not explosive. Is this normal? and if so how long until his stomach adjusts to the food?. Or should I change his food? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Akita | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 15 days old | 10 lbs

This is not uncommon following a food change and I would recommend adding a probiotic/fiber supplement such as fortiflora to help rebalance his bowel and speed recovery. IF his current food is the one you wish to feed long term I would not change again but give him time to adapt
