A gradual transition for digestive comfort

Switching your cat’s food is a great choice, especially with a vet-approved recipe like Vetdiet, but doing it gradually is essential to avoid digestive issues.
Here is Vetdiet’s recommended transition method:
Begin by mixing 75% of your cat’s current food with 25% Vetdiet. Over the next 7 to 10 days, slowly increase the amount of Vetdiet in the bowl. By the end of the transition, your cat should be fully adjusted to their new food.
This gradual approach gives the digestive system time to adapt and helps prevent issues like vomiting or soft stools. It also allows your cat to grow accustomed to the new flavor and texture at their own pace.
