How to Switch Your Dog to Cold Pressed Food
A gentle transition guide for moving your dog to better nutrition without upsetting their stomach.
Switching dog food should always be done gradually, even when moving to a higher quality diet. Here's how to make the transition smooth.
The 7-Day Transition Plan
- Days 1-2: 75% old food, 25% Fortis Pet
- Days 3-4: 50% old food, 50% Fortis Pet
- Days 5-6: 25% old food, 75% Fortis Pet
- Day 7: 100% Fortis Pet
What to Watch For
During the transition, keep an eye on your dog's stool consistency. Some softening is normal as their gut bacteria adjusts, but this should settle within a few days.
Many owners report that their dogs take to cold pressed food immediately – the natural flavours from gentle processing are simply more appealing than the burnt taste of heavily processed kibble.
