Switching your dog to a human-grade diet can be a transformative journey towards better health and nutrition. At Vitachow, we understand the importance of a smooth transition to ensure your furry friend enjoys the benefits of our fresh dog food. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process step by step.

Day 1: Start Slow
Begin the transition by introducing a small portion (approximately 20%) of our fresh dog food into your dog's current diet. Mixing the two foods gradually allows your dog to adjust to new flavors and textures without causing any abrupt changes. Keep a close eye on your dog's response during this phase.


Days 2-3: Increase Gradually
Over the next two days, continue to increase the ratio of our fresh dog food in your dog's meals. This gradual approach helps your dog's digestive system adapt smoothly to the new diet, reducing the risk of any upset stomach.


Days 4-5: Balance It Out
By days four and five, aim for an equal mixture of our fresh dog food and their previous dry food. This balanced combination maintains the familiarity of their regular meals while facilitating a comfortable transition.


Day 6: Savoring Fresh
On the sixth day, your dog should be ready to enjoy primarily our fresh dog food, with just a small portion of their previous dry food. By this point, they will be well on their way to savoring the taste of real, high-quality ingredients.


Day 7: Transition Complete!
Congratulations on reaching the seventh day! Your dog should now be prepared to make the full switch to our fresh-cooked human-grade dog food. Provide them exclusively with our fresh meals, and watch them relish every bite.

Monitor Your Dog's Response

Throughout the transition period, closely monitor your dog's behavior and stool consistency. If you notice any digestive issues such as vomiting or diarrhea, slow down the transition process, and consult with your veterinarian.

Consulting With Your Veterinarian

Your veterinarian's expertise is invaluable when tailoring the transition to your dog's unique health requirements. They can provide guidance based on factors like your dog's age, weight, and any underlying health conditions.

Complete the Transition

Once your dog is successfully eating 100% of the new food, you can discontinue their previous diet. Maintaining a regular feeding schedule and portion size is crucial for their digestive health. A fresh dog food diet provides essential nutrients for your furry friend's well-being. By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth transition and help your dog thrive on their new, healthy diet.
