Cats are inherently more suspicious of changes to their environment compared to dogs. This means making a successful transition to a new food requires a greater level of time and patience.
Method 1: Gradual introduction
(useful for cats already used to receiving wet food):
• Add a very small amount of the Nature’s Variety pouch, choosing a familiar flavour if possible, to your cats usual wet meal
• Mix thoroughly and over approximately 5-7 days, gradually increase the Nature’s Variety pouch and decrease the previous wet food
Method 2: The ‘two bowl technique’
(useful for highly fussy or suspicious cats or if method 1 has not worked):
• Place a very small amount of the Nature’s Variety pouch in a separate bowl beside the normal food
• Repeat at every meal until they begin to show an interest, this often takes 1-2 weeks
• Slowly reduce the previous food while increasing the volume of Nature’s Variety
• Be patient, it is normal for this process to take as long as 8 weeks
Important points to remember:
• Cats prefer food closer to room temperature so try not to feed food straight from the fridge (if previously opened pouch being used)
• Try adding some hot water from the kettle (make sure you allow the water to cool before feeding) to increase the temperature of the food and release aromas
• Do not allow your cat to starve themselves, this can lead to liver problems in some cases
• Always try to vary flavours of foods given to prevent latching onto one variety
• Be patient, cats are highly suspicious of change
