A balanced diet reduces the risk of disease and increases the life expectancy of the animal.

• Introduce changes gradually. Suddenly giving up familiar foods can be stressful. It takes time for the digestive tract to get used to digesting other foods.

• Choose a flavor that your cat likes. Buy different formulations and see what your cat eats more willingly. Small packages are suitable.

• Encourage your pet. If he has eaten a whole portion, reward him, for example, with a game or affection.

These are the basic rules for transferring an animal to industrial feed. Thanks to them, a ready-made high-quality composition will save the owner's time and effort and guarantee the health of the pet. Choose an option based on all the characteristics of the animal.
