Switching from one pressed food to another

A. When you are switching from a different brand of pressed kibble to ours, you can mix the foods for a while until you have switched over. Mix an increasing amount of the new food into the old over a period of 7 days until you have switched completely. Occasionally switching to another food may result in slightly different faeces. However, this is completely harmless. You could also opt for switching using frozen raw meat (see switching guideline section C).
Switching from an extruded food to a pressed variety*

B. When you are switching your pet from extruded (expanded) kibble to one of Prins' pressed varieties, we recommend an instant changeover instead of a period of mixing. Occasionally switching to another food may result in slightly different faeces. However, this is completely harmless. You could also opt for switching using frozen raw meat (see switching guideline section C). Pressed kibble is a condensed food with less volume than the extruded type.
C. Switching to a new type of kibble is also possible by using frozen raw meat. In this case, offer your dog a frozen raw meat meal such as Prins TotalCare LAMB & RICE Complete for one week. After a week of feeding only raw meat you can switch to the new kibble instantly, without a mixing period.
If your dog has never tried raw meat before, we recommend slighty cooking the meat for the first two days in order to give the digestive system some time to adjust. After two days you can serve the thawed meat at room temperature.
Has your dog never tried kibble before and would you like to switch from raw meat meals to pressed or extruded kibble? Then you can follow the switching guideline in section B (an instant changeover).
Our specially composed dietetic foods have been scientifically proven, and developed in collaboration with veterinarians, scientists and universities. They are completely safe for your pet, even when used for longer periods of time.
