Make your dog or cat love new food or dry food, using 8 proven methods
How do you make your dog or cat love the new type of dry food you brought?
We all want to provide the best choices for our pets, but when it comes to dry food for dogs or cats, we struggle to choose a suitable brand or flavor...
This makes us hesitate when buying a new type for fear that the cat or dog will refuse to eat it!
Since the known types of dry food are not available in Egypt, we are forced to change the types every period until the dog or cat gets used to the new type and likes it...
In this article, we will talk about 8 proven methods to encourage your dog or cat to try a new type of food or dry food…
1- Gradual transition to the new type of dry food
The most important method you can use with your dog or cat to introduce new food is to gradually transition the food from the old type to the new type!

This makes it difficult for a dog or cat to get tired of the sudden change!
You can do this gradual transition over a week to 10 days so that he gradually gets used to the taste and texture of the new food.
2- Use treats as rewards.
This is a very effective way to introduce small pieces of treats that your dog or cat is used to with the new food!
This method will make him associate the new food with something positive that he loves, which is treats, and will encourage him to try the new dry food!
3- Mix dry food with soft food.
If your dog or cat is hesitant to try a new dry food, try mixing it with soft food or soft canned food…
The smell, taste and moisture of the soft food will help your dog or cat like the new food.
4- Use delicious additions to encourage your pet to try the new dry food.
Try adding pieces of fruit, vegetables, or lactose-free yogurt.
These additions may encourage your dog or cat to try the new food!
5- Add chicken soup with new dry food
Chicken soup with a little salt will add a distinctive and delicious taste to the food, making the dog or cat accept the dry food immediately.
6- Reduce treats
We said that you can cut treats from food so that he likes them, but if you are already giving him a lot of treats, you should reduce them!
Because he might depend on it as a source of food and get the energy he needs from treats, which will make him refuse to eat at will!
7- Moderate starvation
If your dog or cat refuses to eat dry food, offer the food for 30 minutes. If it doesn't eat, remove it and offer it at the next mealtime!
This will teach him that if he does not eat the dry food, it will be thrown away after a certain period of time, and this will encourage him to eat.
8- Small meals
The number of meals will increase and the quantity will decrease.
These were 8 proven tips that you can rely on to make your dog or cat love the new dry food you brought!
With these tips you need to be patient and stick to your position with your dog or cat!
It may take more than one attempt for your pet to get used to the new taste.
