At my house, life pretty much revolves around our aging dachshund, Little Eddy. As he’s gotten older (and crankier) I’ve searched around for nutritious, satisfying food without unnecessary fillers, and that meant making the time-consuming trek to the pet supply store. I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about the idea of folding my pet shopping into my weekly food shopping!
If you’re transitioning your pet to Whole Paws®, it’s best to do it gradually, over a week or more. A good rule of thumb is to start by serving 80% of the established food with 20% of the new food. Wait a couple of days and then increase the ratio to 60/40. After another day or two, flip the balance to 60% Whole Paws® with 40% of your pet’s former food. Continue in the same manner, increasing the percentage every day or two, until your pet is dining on 100% Whole Paws® premium pet food. Of course, you should consult your vet if you have any questions or concerns about transitioning your pet’s food. Fluffy and Fido will be sure to thank you!
