Nutritional Trips and Tricks!!
Food Transitioning:
Usually diet changes are made over 7 days. If your dog is super sensitive, we recommend you make those changes over 2 weeks.
Food Transitioning for a Diet Trial:
We recommend a 7 day transitioning period. Most diet trial are 8-12 weeks in duration. We do not include the transitioning week as part of the diet trial. During a diet trial nothing else is allowed to pass their mouths other than the diet trial food. That includes supplements, treats, or chewies.
Food Measurements:
Not all cups are created equally. Mugs can often hold 1.5 to 2 cups of food in them. We recommend you use an actual measuring cup that is not mounded. In cats or small dogs a few extra kibble can amount to a
lot of extra calories.
