When transitioning your small breed dog to our higher fiber diet, some noticeable changes in stool value may occur. This reflects a healthier digestive tract. We recommend that transitioning to Lucy Pet foods be done over a five-day period.

Feeding Guidelines

When Choosing a Chicken and Brown Rice Diet

When you begin feeding Lucy Pet’s Limited Ingredient dog food with chicken and brown rice, it’s important to make a proper transition from your pet’s previous diet. While your pet is transitioning to Lucy Pet’s Formulas for Life™ diet, please be sure to follow the suggested guidelines below.

How to Transition to Lucy Pet Formulas for Life ™

The key to switching foods is to do it gradually, so your dog’s digestive system can adapt to our formula and nutrients. Start by replacing 20-25% of the current food you are feeding with Lucy Pet Formulas for Life.

If your pet tends to have a sensitive stomach, allow up to 10-14 days to fully transition to Lucy Pet’s Formulas for Life (TM)

In some instances, a pet can experience soft stools during the first week when you switch and transition to any new food. Lucy Pet Formulas for Life, digest easily and most pets transition smoothly. However, if your pet’s stool becomes loose, it may be necessary to transition more gradually to the new diet.
