How to Transition Your Dog to New Food or Supplements
Supporting your dog’s gut shouldn’t feel rushed. At Myco Pet, we believe slow, steady transitions help the microbiome adjust with comfort and confidence. Learn how to make food or supplement changes gently — and why small steps create big benefits for digestion, stool stability, and overall wellness. 💙
A Myco Pet Guide to Gentle Gut Support
At Myco Pet, we believe in supporting the body with steadiness and care — especially when making a change.
Even when you’re upgrading food or adding beneficial supplements, a slow transition helps the gut adjust comfortably.
This avoids:
- Gas
- Loose stool
- Burps or gulping
- Meal refusal
- Stress on digestion
The microbiome does best when changes happen gradually.

For supplements:

This helps the gut adjust without overwhelm.
Simple Ways to Support a Smooth Transition
- Keep meal times consistent
- Add warm water to aid digestion
- Introduce changes one at a time
-
Support the microbiome daily
Many pet parents add Gut & Immunity+ during transitions because it helps stabilize stool and promotes digestive comfort while the microbiome adjusts.
If you’re transitioning a new puppy or kitten, beginning gentle microbiome support early helps build a resilient foundation for life.

Root-cause wellness isn’t rushed — it’s nurtured with patience, love, and consistency.
