Hi Patti,
Yes, I would give it a couple of weeks. Sometimes, it takes longer to work out all the kinks. We had the most trouble finding a food that our Kolby did well on, so it took us longer to help him stabilize. Not everyone has this issue. Some dogs do really well on the first food tried. Some dogs also have SID/SIBO and it takes a while to get that completely under control with antibiotics. And finally, we really noticed improvement when we got his B12 levels up.
I know that feeling of wanting everything to be OK right away. You are on the right path. Hang in there.

I would give it 2 to 3 weeks as previous stated. I understand the k/d but is there a reason for the i/d? If the poop is still iffy after awhile you may need to find a canned food without the grains that works for the kidneys.
