How To Safely Transition Your Dog To Their New Food



When you are in the process of changing the food of your pet, you must do it slowly but surely. He might experience stomach issues if you transition in an instant. You must introduce the new food subtly until he gets used to it. This way, you will save him from the troubles of sudden food change, which often causes pets to experience stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Time is needed in this kind of transition. It will take you around a week before you can finally feed him entirely his new food. On the first day, adding only a tiny portion of the new food to his regular food will be better. Do it by percentage until you reach a hundred percent. This way, your pet's digestive tract will have time to get used to the ingredients of the new food. Once you entirely change your pet's food, observe if there are any reactions from him. This will serve as feedback on whether he likes the food or not.

Know more about your pet’s nutritional needs during your pet’s health and wellness visits to your animal clinic Washington DC.
