Changing your dog's food is not that easy. But with our tips, it should still be possible.While we humans love variety in our food, dogs prefer monotony. Or continuous, to put it positively. So they are happiest when they get to eat their favorite food day in, day out. However, sometimes a change of food is unavoidable. For example, if weight problems or an illness make a special food necessary. A few tips should be followed to ensure that the dog tolerates the change of food better: sensitive dogs may experience digestive problems after an abrupt change. It is therefore advisable to introduce the new food gradually over several days: First add just a few grams of the new food to the previous food. Over the next few days, the proportion of the new food in the bowl increases, while that of the old food gradually decreases. If everything goes smoothly, the change is complete after a week.Every dog is different
If, despite the gradual change of food, the dog continues to have problems for longer, the new food is probably not the right one and you need to look for an alternative. As with us humans, not every four-legged friend can tolerate everything. If a puppy is due for a change of food, you can also introduce the new food in a playful way by feeding it as a treat for a while first. This way, the dog gets used to the new taste and stores it as a positive memory. At Migros, you'll find a wide selection of foods for your dog - suitable for every stage of life.NOTE:This article was originally published in Migipedia News in November 2018.
