How To Transition onto WILD Pet Food

Our Tried & Tested Transition Plan Sets You Up For Success!

Your dog is about to try the most nutrient-dense food they’ve ever eaten.


Because WILD is a brand-new food to them, every dog needs a careful transition plan. Without it, they may:


-Refuse the food

-Experience digestive upset


No matter what they’ve been eating before, it’s essential to follow this transition guide as closely as you can - including adding water to the pellets for at least the first two weeks.



98% of customers who follow this plan have a smooth, successful transition.

Every dog is unique, but this guide is a starting point.


WILD Pet Food is 100% natural and far more nutrient dense than any diet your dog has tried before.


Some dogs may need more time to adjust, so pay close attention and slow down/speed up, if needed.

IMPORTANT

Two piles of dog food kibble with a red X and green check mark.

You should avoid giving your dog handfuls of WILD Pet Food on its own straight away.


It will be very different to what they're used to and, just like sniffing out a new friend at the park, first impressions matter.


Instead, combine pieces of WILD Pet Food (mixed with warm water) with their current food to help them get used to WILD.

Tips and Tricks

Here's some helpful tips to make the transition even easier for you and your pup.

Stay Positive

Dogs can pick up on your energy. If you stay calm and positive, it helps them feel the same way.


Reward Calm Curiosity

Praise your dog when they show interest in the new food to create a positive association.


Move at Your Dog's Pace

Only increase the amount of WILD in their diet when they've had at least 2 settled days. If they have any digestive upset, read this guide here and only increase the amount of WILD when they're comfortable.


Add Water

Water can bring out the amazing, natural aromas in the food, making it even more tempting. This is great for dogs who need a softer food too.


Stick to Routine

Keep a regular feeding schedule. Consistency is key, just like when you're trying to teach your puppy not to use the house as their toilet!


Monitor Hydration

Always keep plenty of fresh water available, as you normally would. Our cold-pressed dog food has to be made with dry ingredients, so is lower in moisture than other diets. It's normal for dogs to drink more to balance this out.


As long as they're urinating regularly and seem well, it's usually nothing to worry about. If you're unsure, you should speak to your vet.

FYI - the dogs in this video have already fully transitioned to WILD so eat 100% WILD. If you are still transitioning, remember to add their current foods in at the stage you're dog is currently comfortable.
