Changing your pet's food can seem like an impossible mission, right? One day Fido looks at you with sweet eyes, and the next day he seems to wonder what you put in his bowl. But don't panic! With this simple and fun guide, you will ensure that your dog or cat adapts to the new food without drama.

Why Change Food? 🤔

There are many reasons why you may need to change your pet's food:

• Growth : Puppies grow and need food that is suitable for adult dogs or cats. And yes, they also grow faster than we would like.
• Allergies or Sensitivities : If you notice your pet scratching suspiciously or having any digestive issues, a change in diet may be necessary.
• You want to offer him something better : Maybe you have found a healthier, more nutritious food or you simply think it is time for an upgrade.

The Perfect Shift: Slow and No Surprises

The trick to getting your child to accept the new food is just one: patience . Here is the plan to follow:

1. Days 1-2 :
   Mix 25% of the new food with 75% of the old food . This way, you can start introducing the new food without making too much of an upheaval.
2. Days 3-4 :
   Increase the ratio to 50% new and 50% old . If your pet doesn’t look at you like you’re cheating, you’re on the right track.
3. Days 5-6 :
   Now you can do 75% new and 25% old . Almost there!
4. From day 7 onwards :
   You can finally feed him 100% new food 🎉 Mission accomplished.

Signs to Watch Out For 🧐

While you are making the change, keep an eye on your pet to make sure everything is going well. Here are the signs you shouldn't ignore:

• Frequent diarrhea or vomiting : If it lasts more than a few days, the new food may not be right for your dog.
• Loss of Appetite : If your pet refuses the new food, there may be a problem. Slow the process down a bit and try again.
• Low Energy : If you notice that your dog or cat seems less lively, it is best to consult your veterinarian.

Extra Tips for a Stress-Free Change

1. Make food more interesting : If the new food doesn't convince him right away, try adding a little unsalted broth or hot water. The smell will make him curious 🎉 (Spoiler: it usually works!)
2. Don't rush : Every pet has its own pace. If your furry friend is a little slower to accept the change, don't force him.
3. Associate food with a positive moment : If your pet is picky, reward him or give him some extra cuddles after the meal. This will help him see the new food as something positive.
