Changing our dog's food can be an excellent decision to improve their health and well-being. However, doing so abruptly can cause digestive problems such as diarrhea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. Therefore, it is important to make a gradual transition that allows their digestive system to adapt to the new food without risks.

At Amykus, we support you every step of the way to ensure a successful transition.

Why is a gradual transition important?

Dogs' digestive tracts are accustomed to certain ingredients, fiber levels, and protein types. Therefore, a sudden change can unbalance their intestinal flora, causing unnecessary discomfort.

Recommended Transition Plan (7 days):

• Days 1-2: 75% of old food + 25% of new Amykus food
• Days 3-4: 50% of old food + 50% Amykus
• Days 5-6: 25% of old food + 75% Amykus
• Day 7: 100% Amykus

This schedule can be adjusted if your dog has a sensitive digestive system; in that case, you can extend the process to 10 or even 14 days. Gradually changing our dog's food significantly reduces the risks of discomfort.

Signs of a good transition:

• • Well-formed stools
  • Good appetite
  • Consistent energy
  • No vomiting or diarrhea

If you observe any problems, return to a previous ratio for a few days and consult your veterinarian. This will prevent the change from affecting their health.

Extra tips for a successful transition:

• Maintain regular feeding schedules.
• Do not introduce other changes (like new snacks) during this period.
• Make sure they always have fresh water available.

Consistency and patience are essential for the process to work. Additionally, if you pay attention to their behavior and digestion, you can adapt the pace if necessary.
