Hi everyone, I recently adopted a beautiful exotic persian named Babee (she's tiny: 3 yrs old and weighs 5.5 lbs). Her previous owner was feeding her Purina One and I would like to switch over to Nutro Natural Choice. I have read that I should gradually switch over in a 3-7 day period by doing 25% of the new food and 75% old food...then 50/50....and so on. However, I've read of doing it even slower than that by just adding a few kibbles here and there over a two week period. Which method is best? Or is it a matter of preference?
Additional info: She's eating Natural Balance canned food twice a day but the amount she eats equals to 2 ounces. She never ate wet food before so I slowly started her on that. She loves it now and experienced no problems. Now I feel it's a good time to switch her dry food. I know dry food isn't great but she doesn't eat much and she likes to nibble here and there.
Thanks,
Laura
