Your cat enjoys her food at mealtimes, but now you have a different option that you feel would better nourish her body. She is very reluctant to change, and but you don’t want to give up. How can you ease her into the transition?

Your pet may be a picky eater, but this doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to switch her food. The most effective way to do this is by gradually adding more and more of the new food to the food she is used to. This way your pet will eventually be eating an entire bowl of the new food, but will have the time to get used to the flavor and texture before making the switch entirely. You can also try offering a piece of the new food as a treat every now and then to help her become familiar with it. Your local Raleigh, NC vet clinic can offer additional advice.
