What is the recommended transition process for introducing my dog to the Digestive Support diet, especially if they have a sensitive stomach?
The recommended transition process for introducing your dog to the Digestive Support diet, especially if they have a sensitive stomach, involves a gradual transition. As with all foods, it is crucial to introduce new foods slowly to allow your dog's digestive system to adapt. However, for dogs with digestive issues, this process becomes even more important.
The typical transition period for dogs with gastrointestinal issues is around seven days, mixing your dog’s existing food with the new diet and gradually increasing the proportion of the new Digestive Support diet in your dog's meals until they are fully transitioned. However, depending on the severity of your dog's digestive issues, it may be advisable to extend the transition period to up to 14 days. Going slower in the transition process is beneficial for dogs with sensitive stomachs, as it minimises the potential stress on their digestive system and helps them adjust more comfortably to the new diet.
