Want to Change your Pet's Food?

If you will change your pet's food immediately, it will cause many health issues for your pet like:
👉Food refusal
👉Stomach upset
👉Diarrhea
👉Vomiting
👉Excess gas or constipation.

The best method for switching food is to gradually mix an increasing amount of the new product with old product over a period of time un-till the animal is receiving only the new product. This is very important so that you don't disrupt your pet's digestive pattern. Hence, food transition should take one to two weeks.

If at any time your pet starts having loose stools or appears constipated, slow the rate at which you are switching and call your veterinarian.
