If a decision has been made to transfer the animal to an industrial diet, then this should be done in stages.
For example, on the first day of switching to such a diet, the usual diet should be cut by 10 percent, but after feeding, this norm should be replenished with food.
If the pet liked the food, then the next day you need to reduce the natural food by another 10 percent, and increase the amount of dry food, NEWS.ru reports.
If you stick to this plan, then in just two months your cat or dog will switch to a new diet without any problems.
If you want to transfer your pet from industrial feed to natural food, then the scheme is almost the same as the previous one, but it is better to add additional feeding in the amount of 5 percent, not 10. At the same time, all food must be well boiled so that the animal does not have a malfunction in the intestines.
As for the meat, it is better to cut it into pieces beforehand.
You can pour boiling water over it to remove harmful organisms.
It is also worth noting that you can use a mixed diet to feed cats and dogs.
In this case, you need to alternate natural food and feed during the day.
For example, in the morning you can give meat with vegetables, but in the evening you can give regular industrial food.
