ASK-THE-VET: HOW DO I TRANSITION MY DOG OR CAT TO A NEW FOOD?
November 16th, 2009 by Dr. Donna Spector
Q: How do I transition my dog or cat to a new food?
A: Most pets require 7-10 days to adjust to a new food because their intestinal tracts contain unique bacteria and enzymes that need to adapt to the proper digestion of a new food. It is recommended that dogs and cats eat a combination of dry and canned food every day. Their bodies are made of 75% water and they rarely drink enough water to support excellent hydration and organ function. I recommend that 25 to 50% of their daily calories come from canned food. You can feed it all at one time during the day or break it up into 2 meals…whatever is easiest for you.
Follow these guidelines for either dry, canned or preferably a combination of Halo food*:

Blogger Kim Gentry took the time to investigate what’s unhealthy about many ingredients in commercial pet foods, and what’s right about Halo’s approach to nutrition.
“…I thought I would give it a try,” she writes. “Once my dog started eating this food, I noticed a big difference right away. He was a healthy and happy dog. He no longer has fatigue, or Tummy troubles, or vomiting. He now has more energy to do his normal daily exercise, and he looks and feels Great!”
