My pet food was opened and now my pet won’t eat it, what do I do?Updated 5 months ago
If you've opened a bag of our pet food and your pet initially ate it but now refuses, it's possible that they need to be transitioned or introduced to their new food slowly.
Frontier Pets may look like dry food, but don't be fooled by our process – it's raw feeding at its finest! Our unique freeze-drying process locks in all the natural goodness of raw ingredients while offering the convenience of dry food. So, even though it might not seem like your typical raw food, Frontier Pets ensures that your pets get the full benefits of a raw diet without any hassle. It's the perfect blend of convenience and nutrition, allowing you to provide your pet with a diet that's as close to nature as possible.
How to transition your pet to raw food
If your pet has been on a diet of dry kibble and/or processed wet food, it’s important to transition gradually to raw feeding as a completely balanced meal.* Raw food is digested differently to processed food and transitioning too quickly to raw feeding can cause stomach upset.
Similarly, if your pet is used to dry kibble or canned food, they may be fussy with raw food at first, so gradually introducing raw food will help their taste buds adjust.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Begin by mixing 20% Frontier Pets Raw Freeze-Dried food with 80% of your pet's regular food.
- Feed this 20/80 mix for 2-4 days.
- If your pet handles the new food well with no issues, increase the ratio to 40% Frontier Pets and 60% regular food for the next 2-4 days.
- Gradually increase the proportion of Frontier Pets by 20% every 2-4 days until you're feeding 100% Frontier Pets as a complete balanced meal.
