Slowly switching to a new food is the safest bet to avoid digestive upset. We suggest making the transition occur over the course of a week or two. Start off by feeding 25% of the new food and 75% of the current food for 2–3 days. Then gradually increase the new food to 50% of your pet’s daily intake, and decreasing the current food to 50% for another 2–3 days. If that’s going well, bump up the new food to 75% and the old food to 25% for another 2–3 days, until you can feed your pet 100% of the new food.
You can always add a little “insurance” when food switching by grabbing some pumpkin puree—available at all Loyal Biscuit locations—which is great for easing tummy troubles and helping with food transitions.
