Changing food

How to switch foods successfully

Any change in diet must be made gradually over several days in order to limit digestive disorders and to promote good acceptance of the new ration.

Make mealtimes count

  • Provide a premium diet adapted to age and activity level
  • Leave fresh water available at all times
  • Monitor the ration after sterilization or in case of decreased activity

Never feed these foods
