Switching food - here is how you do it

Even though our petgood food for dogs and cats suits sensitive stomachs, we always recommend that you make a gradual transition when switching to a new food, to avoid any problems. Follow the steps below for an optimal transition:

1. Use the feeding recommendation below to get a recommendation on how much food your animal needs per month and day.

Feeding recommendation adult dog

Feeding recommendation puppy

Feeding recommendation adult cat

2. In the feeding recommendations above you will also find a conversion table from grams to dl for each food.

3. Make a gradual transition over 10 days (see below). "New food" refers to petgood food. Remember that a bowl of fresh water should always be available for your furry friend! πŸ’¦

Switching food - a gradual transition

Day 1-2

New food: 25 % - Previous food: 75 %

Day 3-6

New food: 50 % - Previous food: 50 %

Day 7-9

New food: 75 % - Previous food: 25 %

Day 10

New food: 100 %

If you run into any problems during the transition, for example looser stools, you should go back to the previous step and not move on with the transition until your animal's stomach is in balance again.
