Switching to Wilsons Pet Food

Switching to Wilsons Pet Food

It's easy to switch over to Wilsons Fresh or Cold Pressed!

We've broken the steps down, and explained why it's important to slowly transition to a new food.

WHY SWITCH SLOWLY

It's best to gradually switch over to a new food or food type to help your dog adjust to their new food and prevent tummy troubles. 

HOW TO SWITCH

When switching foods, introduce Wilsons gradually by mixing a small amount with their current food, starting at around 25% of the meal.

Day 1-3 Switch 25% of current food

Day 4-6 Switch 50% of current food

Day 7-9 Switch 75% of current food

Day 10+ Feed 100% of Wilsons food

Slowly increase over 10 days until fully transitioned.

HOW MUCH DO I FEED?

Always check the feeding guide on pack to ensure the correct amount for your dog, or visit our Cold Pressed feeding guide or Fresh feeding guide.

The total g per day should be split into two meals, morning and evening. Puppies require 4 meals per day, then at four months reduce to 3 and then finally move to 2 meals at around six months old.

DON'T FORGET

Please use this information as a guide. Your dog’s breed, condition and activity levels should also be considered as well as regular weight monitoring to adjust feeding quantities as required. If you are unsure, please check with your vet.

Always ensure your dog always has access to fresh water.
