How should I introduce Petaluma into my pup's diet?Updated 6 months ago

Food impacts dogs’ microbiomes - i.e. the bacteria that naturally lives in their gut - and transitioning diets slowly allows the microbiome to adapt to the new nutrient profile.  We recommend that you slowly introduce Petaluma over 7-10 days.

DAY 1 & 2

25% Petaluma & 75% normal food

25% Petaluma
















DAY 3 & 4

50% Petaluma & 50% normal food

50% Petaluma














DAY 5 & 6

75% Petaluma & 25% normal food

75% Petaluma
















DAY 7+

100% Petaluma

On day 7, your dog should be ready for 100% Petaluma. However, if you experience any gastrointestinal issues during the transition (like looser-than-normal stool), do not increase the amount of Petaluma and continue feeding the mixed portion until your dog is acclimated.
