How to transition dogs to wet food

Pet Question

If your dog is switching from dry food to wet food, it is best to make the transition gradual. This helps your dog's gastrointestinal tract adjust to the new diet and reduces the risk of indigestion. Specifically, you can do this: Start by reducing the proportion of dry food and increasing the proportion of wet food in your dog's diet. For example, you could reduce the proportion of dry food in your dog's diet to 25% and increase the proportion of wet food to 75%. Over time, gradually reduce the proportion of dry food and increase the proportion of wet food in your dog's diet. For example, you could reduce the proportion of dry food to 50% wet food in your dog's diet, then reduce the proportion of dry food to 25% and increase the proportion of wet food to 75%.
