My puppy needs healthier food. How do I switch his diet safely?

Question

My puppy is being fed Pedigree, I don’t think that brand is very good. How do I switch him to something more healthy. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 1 month and 21 days old | 8 lbs

Switching should be done slowly. Start by mixing 75% old food and 25% new food, and feeding that to Milo for a couple of days. Then do a 50/50 mixture, and again feed it for a couple of days. After that, a 25% old food and 75% new food mixture should be fed for a couple of days. Finally, he can have the new food only. I hope this helps!
