During transition:
When transitioning to a new diet, it's natural for some dogs to experience slightly upset stomachs or vomiting, as the bacteria in their digestive tract adjusts to breaking down the new food. This is why the transition period is crucial.
If your dog is experiencing an upset stomach during the transition period, you can skip their next meal to give the bacteria in their digestive system a chance to adapt. If any vomiting or diarrhea persists, we recommend slowing down your dog’s transition to give their system more time to adjust. For example, mix a 25% portion of Nom Nom food with 75% of your previous food for as long as you or your vet think is best for your dog. You can continue to slowly increase the percentage of Nom Nom food if your dog is no longer having stomach issues.
If you need further assistance, you can always reach out to our knowledgeable Pet Support team as they would be happy to walk you through the transition.
After transition:
If for some reason your dog gets an upset stomach once they've already transitioned to Nom Nom, it may be for a variety of reasons such as a new medication or helping themselves to something from the trash can. We recommend either serving a half portion at their next meal or skipping a meal to give their digestive bacteria a chance to reset.
In either of the cases above, either during or after transition, if vomiting persists for more than 3 days or you are noticing a change in appetite or overall behavior, we recommend speaking directly with your veterinarian as they will have a better picture of your dog's medical history.
