Switching your dog to a new type or brand of pet food can be quite difficult, especially if you have a fussy pet. Perhaps your dog needs a little encouragement, and there are several options you can try out.

Some pet owners have been able to switch their pet’s food without any problems by making small additions of the new pet food to their pet’s daily ration so the dog will be more familiar with the new product.

If you are changing your pet’s diet from canned pet food to kibbles, it is a good idea to check your pet’s mouth and gums. A dental problem can make it hard to chew kibbles which have a different texture to what your pet has been used to. There are also dogs that are allergic to an ingredient in their new diet.
