Answer

Transitioning your cat to a new diet should be done gradually to avoid digestive upset. Start by mixing a small amount of the new food with their current food, about 25% new to 75% old, for 2-3 days. If all goes well, increase the ratio to 50/50 for another 2-3 days, then 75% new to 25% old. Over about 7-10 days, you should be able to fully switch. If you notice any vomiting, diarrhea, or appetite loss, slow down the transition. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance about specific dietary needs or if issues persist.
