Why a Gradual Dog Food Transition is Important

Making a sudden switch in your dog’s diet can lead to digestive upset, vomiting, or diarrhea. A gradual dog food transition allows their stomach to adjust to new ingredients, reducing the risk of discomfort. Whether your pup has a sensitive stomach or is used to another brand, following a step-by-step dog food transition plan is key to success.

Step-by-Step Guide to a Smooth Dog Food Transition


Days 1-3 – Start Slow with 25% Roo Food

  • Begin the dog food transition by mixing 25% Roo Food with 75% of their current food.

  • Observe how your dog reacts—watch for stool consistency, appetite, and energy levels.


Days 4-6 – Increase Roo Food to 50%

  • Adjust meals to half Roo Food, half their previous food.

  • Continue monitoring for any digestive issues and ensure hydration.


Days 7-9 – Move to 75% Roo Food

  • Most dogs adjust well by this stage—increase Roo Food to 75% of their meals.

  • Keep an eye out for any hesitation to eat or changes in stool texture.


Day 10 – Full Transition to Roo Food

  • By now, your pup should be ready for 100% Roo Food! 🎉

  • If any digestive issues arise, slow down the transition and extend this stage as needed.


Signs of a Successful Dog Food Transition

If your dog food transition is going well, you’ll notice:

  • Healthy, firm stools

  • Consistent energy levels

  • No excessive itching, gas, or vomiting

If your pup experiences loose stools or reluctance to eat, consider slowing the transition process.


Common Dog Food Transition Challenges & How to Fix Them

  • Loose stools? Slow down the transition and add a small amount of plain pumpkin for fiber.

  • Picky eater? Warm Roo Food slightly or mix in a small amount of warm bone broth.

  • Loss of appetite? Ensure your dog is eating in a calm, distraction-free space.


Key Takeaway – A Gradual Dog Food Transition is Best!

Switching to Roo Food is one of the best things you can do for your dog’s long-term health. A slow dog food transition helps prevent stomach upset while allowing your pup to adjust.
