How to transition your dogs bowl to a new, fresh and healthy diet
A lack of authority or overseeing regulatory body means consumers are often left at the mercy of largely unscrupulous marketing teams to help them decide on what to feed their animals. Companies selling floor sweepings and waste materials from the human food industry do so under the guise of the ‘complete and balanced’, ‘species appropriate’ buzz-words and beautifully styled imagery of fresh, whole foods, in an attempt to gain consumer trust, yet these seldom reflect the quality of ingredients within the product.
Our recommendation is to only purchase pet food that has been manufactured using human-grade produce, and which contain a product that resembles the fresh ingredients. For anyone wanting further guidance or information, our passion is to provide researched, scientifically proven evidence to use nutrition to promote overall health and longevity. We offer one-on-one consultations, and only sell brands we would happily feed to our own dogs.
If you're looking to transition your dog to fresh foods, we recommend the following steps:
Days One to Four
Replace 25% of the old diet with new food. You can add between 1tsp-1tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar to help the transition.
Days Five to Ten
The new diet should make up 50% of the bowl. Add foods such as yoghurt, steamed pumpkin and cooked oats.
Days Ten to Fourteen
Increase the fresh food to 75% and reduce the old diet to 25%.
Day Fifteen Onward
You can transition to a full fresh food diet. Incorporate new proteins, fresh meaty bones and colourful fruits and vegetables.
