Did you know...it is SUPER common for a pet to be finicky when changing to a new food!? DON’T GIVE UP. A lot of times when you try to put a pet that’s on a food that has any sugars and fillers in it, the smell and consistency of ours is unfamiliar to them. That’s why you have to follow the transitional chart provided to you by your Brand Influencer. As a fur mama to 8 {yes EIGHT, 7 cats, 1 dog} living fur babies, I can personally attest to the challenge of diet transitioning. I have had a few that have been more stubborn than others over the years, yet today, they are the FIRST at the food bowl. I have not made a fur friend yet, who doesn’t eventually come around to what’s good for them.
Just like any parent, if you know what you’re feeding your child is bad for your child, do you still continue to feed them it just because that’s what they like or do you switch them to what you know is better?
Here’s a really good article from PetMD that discusses food transitioning in detail. It references cats, but the info is definitely still relevant if you have a finicky pooch. 🐾 🇺🇸
