Switching Your Dog’s Food

Written By Danielle Sperber

Switching your dog's diet too quickly can cause digestive upset. A gradual transition helps their system adjust to new ingredients + ensures a happy, healthy pup!

Recommended Transition Schedule:

  • Days 1-3: 75% current food, 25% new food

  • Days 4-6: 50% current food, 50% new food

  • Days 7-9: 25% current food, 75% new food

  • Day 10+: 100% new food

Signs of a Smooth Transition:

  • Normal stool consistency

  • Healthy appetite

  • Consistent energy levels

  • No signs of stomach discomfort (excess gas, bloating, or vomiting)

Tips for Success:

  • Introduce one protein source at a time to monitor any allergies.

  • Keep fresh water available at all times.

  • Avoid harmful or toxic ingredients.

  • Store food properly to maintain freshness.

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

  • Loose stool? Slow down the transition + add a small amount of plain pumpkin.

  • Refusing the new food? Try mixing in a little warm water or bone broth for added flavor.

  • Vomiting or severe diarrhea? Stop the new food + consult your vet before proceeding.
