Feeding Puppies – Switching Diets From Canned Food To Kibble


Most puppies don’t experience any adverse reactions when shifting to kibble from canned food though it can prove difficult to others. Here are some tips to make the transition easier:

To make an easier transition to a new food/diet, it is best to introduce the new pet food in increments. To start, mix ¼ of the new pet food along with ¾ of the old pet food you usually give. Change the proportions in the next three to five days or so, slowly adding increments to the new food and giving less of the old food. Do this until your pet’s meal is composed of  100% of the new pet food.

It may not be appealing to your pup if the food has already been left for hours, so try giving only small increments and putting it away after half an hour. Offer fresh new pet food every 4-5 hours but do not give anything else except clean drinking water. During your dog’s transition to a new diet, do not offer leftovers and treats as giving in to your pup’s craving can only make the transition more difficult.

If you have concerns about your pet’s diet, contact your pet clinic Scottsdale AZ.
