FAQs
Gradually transition to PEDIGREE® over seven days, starting with a small amount mixed with current food and increasing daily. Divide the recommended quantity into equal parts based on feeding frequency.
To start PEDIGREE®, we recommend the seven day conversion process. Add some quantity on day one in current feed. Gradually increase daily to convert into full meal by day seven and make sure that fresh water is available at all times. Remember that too quickly a changeover may upset your pet's metabolic balance and they may also lose interest in food.
For puppies under three months, soak PEDIGREE® in lukewarm water. After three months, feed dry PEDIGREE® with plenty of drinking water. You can also mix wet gravy with dry food to encourage eating.
