Transitioning a Senior Dog to a New Diet

Gradual changes are key. Sudden diet changes can upset your dog's stomach, especially in senior dogs.

Step-by-Step Transition

1. Start Slowly: For the first 3-5 days, mix 25% of the new food with 75% of the current food.
2. Increase Gradually: After 3-5 days, increase to 50% new food and 50% old food for another 3-5 days.
3. Continue Transition: Move to 75% new food and 25% old food for 3-5 days before fully switching to the new diet.

Monitor Your Dog

Watch for any signs of digestive upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea. If these occur, slow down the transition.

Pro tip: Consult with your veterinarian before making any significant changes to your dog's diet, especially if they have health concerns.
