If you want to switch your dog from kibble (dry dog food) to fresh food, it is important to do it slowly to avoid digestive upset. Here are some steps you can follow to make the transition:
-
Start by mixing a small amount of fresh food in with their usual kibble. Gradually increase the amount of fresh food over the course of a week or two, while decreasing the amount of kibble.
-
Pay attention to your dog's appetite and energy level. If they seem to be having any digestive issues, such as diarrhea or vomiting, slow down the transition or speak with your veterinarian.
-
Make sure the fresh food you are feeding your dog is balanced and meets their nutritional needs. You may need to add supplements to ensure they are getting all the nutrients they need.
-
Keep an eye on your dog's weight and make any necessary adjustments to the amount of food you are feeding them.
It is always a good idea to consult with your veterinarian before making any changes to your dog's diet. They can help you determine the best way to transition your dog to fresh food and advise you on any necessary supplements.
