Transition to fresh food gradually to prevent digestive problems. Here's a guide to help switch your dog to our food:
Day 1: Start Slow
Start by adding a small portion (about 20%) of the new food to your dog's current diet. Gradually mixing the two foods helps your dog adjust to new flavors and textures without abrupt changes. Monitor your dog's response closely.
Days 2-3: Increase Gradually
Over the next two days, continue to increase the ratio of our fresh dog food in their meals. This gradual approach helps your dog's digestive system adapt smoothly to the new diet, minimizing 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 the dry food. This balanced combination ensures a comfortable transition while maintaining the familiarity of their regular meals.
Day 6: Savoring Fresh
On the sixth day, your dog should be ready to enjoy mostly our fresh dog food with just a small portion of dry food. At this point, they'll be well on their way to savoring the taste of real, high-quality ingredients.
Day 7: Transition Complete!
Congratulations! On the seventh day, your dog should 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
Keep a close eye on your dog's behavior and stool consistency throughout the transition period. 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 in tailoring the transition to your dog's unique health requirements. They can advise you on the best course of action for your dog, taking into account their age, weight, and any underlying health conditions.
Complete the Transition
Once your dog is successfully eating 100% of the new food, you can discontinue the old food. It's important to stick to a regular feeding schedule and portion size to maintain their digestive health. A fresh dog food diet can provide your furry friend with the essential nutrients they need to maintain good health. By following these steps, you can make the transition process as smooth as possible and help your dog thrive on their new diet.
