Food transition

Are there drawbacks to the appeal of new food?

Yes, since it generally leads to over consumption, it is best to monitor and, if necessary, limit the amounts given in the first month.

How can you help a cat overcome its rejection of new food?

    ·Offer the food for three days in a row, renewing it each time
    ·Place a small amount of food in the cat’s mouth so it can experience the taste - not just the smel
    ·For canned food, spread a little on a paw, so it eats some while licking itself during grooming
    NB: The efficacy of these different methods varies among cats. It is absolutely necessary to take a cat to the vet if it refuses to eat for over 3 days.
