War makes people reconsider not only their diet, but also the menu of their pets. Unfortunately, not all pet stores are open where there are hostilities, proven tasty food is running out, and you need to feed your pets something.
What is the alternative to food? What should I feed my cats and dogs?
- Whenever possible, we feed the same diet that they have always had, because a change in diet can provoke gastrointestinal disorders.
- If there is no familiar and proven food, we choose the food option that we can provide at the moment.
- Gradually and according to the rules, we transfer the animal to a new diet.
How to properly switch to a new food
It is recommended to start the process of changing the food using the old food.
- Day 1 and 2: 75% of the usual food + 25% of the new food
- Day 3 and 4: 50% of the usual food + 50% of the new food
- Days 5 and 6: 25% of the usual food + 75% of the new one
- from day 7: 100% new food
Don’t forget about water for your pets.
Important! Do not overfeed the animal and keep the feeding regimen consistent.
If you are changing from dry to wet food or canned food, the transition period may be slightly longer.
During the transition to a new food, monitor the condition of the pet’s eyes, ears, mucous membranes, and feces and urine.
How to choose a new food?
- Focus on the class of food, choose the best possible.
- Ask the seller what is currently available and let them know what you have been feeding your pet before.
- Find out about the prospects for supply.
- If possible, keep the manufacturer.
- For sterilized pets, try to keep the diet for sterilized animals.
