Grab something to eat... Now while you're eating. Do you notice yourself only chewing on one side of your mouth? Or do you move the food from one side to the other?

For sure. Even regular kibble. Switching from one brand(or interbrand switching to a different formula) to a different brand is even enough to upset their systems. It's advised to slowly ween off of the current food by mixing the 2 brands together over a few days.
