How do I transition my dog or cat to Smallbatch?Updated a month ago

Transitioning to a new food is very pet-dependent, but the following schedule works well for most dogs and cats:

• Week 1: 25% Smallbatch / 75% current food
• Week 2: 50% Smallbatch / 50% current food
• Week 3: 75% Smallbatch / 25% current food
• Week 4: 100% Smallbatch

Your transition timeline can be compressed to just a few meals or stretched over a few weeks depending on your pet's digestive sensitivity. Adding plain pumpkin, bone broth, or a probiotic can help support your pet's gut through the process.

For most pets, we recommend starting with milder, lower-fat proteins like Chicken, Turkey, Pork, or Rabbit — these tend to be the easiest on the digestive system. Once your pet is settled, rotate through other proteins or try other formats as often as you can for the best nutritional variety.
