Cat Health & Safety

There might come a time when you need to (or want to) switch to a different cat food. To increase the chances that your cat will like the new food and that it won’t lead to “explosions” in their litter boxes or on your floors, it’s best to gradually introduce new foods over a one to two-week period. For the first few days, mix 25% of the new food with 75% of the old. If your cat is eating well and not having any digestive problems, jump to a 50/50 mix for a few days. If everything is still going well, mix 75% new with 25% old for a final few days before switching to 100% of their new food. If they have digestive problems at any point along the way, go back to the percentages they were doing fine with and then slow down your transition or call your vet’s office.
