How do I change my pet over to a new food?
You should transition your pet on to the new food by gradually introducing the food over a few days to prevent digestive upset. Mix approximately 10% of the new food each day, in with the old food, gradually increasing the amount of new food.
How to introduce the new food
Start by mixing a small amount of the new food with your pet's current food, approximately 10% of the new food each day.
Gradually increase the proportion of new food while decreasing the amount of old food over the next 5-10 days.
For finicky and older pets or pets with health conditions, extend the transition period up to four or more weeks.
Watch for any signs of digestive distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased appetite. If you notice any issues, slow down the transition or return to the old food.
Additional tips
