Won’t changing my pet’s diet cause him to have digestive issues?
The simple answer is, yes, you’ll notice some digestive issues when you change your pet’s diet. But never changing your pets’ food will give them larger digestive issues and possibly endanger his longevity and quality of life. If you have been feeding the same exact food for months or years, there is no doubt that changing your pet’s food is going to create intolerance for anything different regardless of how nutritional it is. Imagine we fed you grilled chicken breast, a vegetable medley (carrots, cauliflower, broccoli), and brown rice for six months. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. After six months and one day, we give you a nice Sirloin steak, some brussel sprouts and new potatoes gratin. Both meals are perfectly balanced. Under normal circumstances there is no reason why you should have any issue after eating the steak. But we trained your digestive system to only deal with a static menu. You most likely will have digestive issues after eating the new meal and will probably experience general discomfort from your digestive system for a day or two. But if your regular diet includes a variety of healthful, balanced foods every day, you can easily switch from one food to another, be in the peak of health, and feel good. The same thing is true for your pet. Variety is good. That said, let’s not go crazy and switch your pets’ food all at once. Things will go more smoothly if you ease into a dietary change. Take PeopleFüd or nutritious food you cook yourself and swap out 20% of your dog’s diet on a daily basis. If you feed your dog 2 ½ cups a day, give them half a cup on the first few days, maybe as long as a week. Swap out an additional ½ cup each week until you are reach your target amount. Use different recipes every week. If you use PeopleFüd or nutritious food you cook with kibble, change the kibble or change the PeopleFüd or your cooking selection. Change protein sources, but also change the secondary ingredients. Use some of your own food if it is not fried, salted or sugared. But remember when using your own food from the table to avoid major problems such as onions, chocolate, grapes, raisins and macadamia nuts. You’ll be surprised with the change in health and energy this will produce in your pet.
