Quick answer
Transition your puppy to Harringtons Superfoods Grain-Free Dry Puppy Food over 7–10 days by gradually mixing it with their current food, then feed according to their weight and age for balanced growth.
Why grain-free matters for puppies
Grain-free recipes can be easier on a puppy's digestive system, especially if they have a sensitive stomach. Harringtons Superfoods Grain-Free Dry Puppy Food uses chicken and vegetables, avoiding common grains that sometimes trigger allergies or upset. This makes it a good choice for puppies prone to tummy troubles, but it's still important to transition slowly to avoid any sudden dietary shock.
Choosing the right bag size
Harringtons offers this grain-free puppy food in 1.7kg and 10kg bags. The smaller bag is ideal for testing your puppy's reaction or for small breeds, while the 10kg option is more economical for larger breeds or multi-puppy households. Both provide the same balanced nutrition, so pick based on your puppy's size and your storage space.
How to transition and feed Harringtons Superfoods Grain-Free Dry Puppy Food
- Step 1: Start the transition: On days 1–3, mix 25% Harringtons Superfoods Grain-Free Dry Puppy Food with 75% of your puppy's current food. Increase the proportion gradually over 7–10 days. A sudden switch can cause diarrhea; always mix old and new food to give their gut time to adjust.
- Step 2: Measure the right portion: Check the feeding guide on the bag for your puppy's weight and age. Use a kitchen scale or measuring cup for accuracy. Puppies need more frequent meals—typically 3–4 small servings per day until 6 months old. Overfeeding can lead to rapid growth and joint issues; underfeeding can stunt development. Stick to the recommended amounts.
- Step 3: Serve with fresh water: Always provide a bowl of clean, fresh water alongside dry food. Dry kibble expands in the stomach, so proper hydration prevents bloating and supports digestion. Puppies may forget to drink; encourage water breaks between meals, especially after playtime.
- Step 4: Monitor your puppy's response: Watch for signs of digestive upset like loose stools, vomiting, or loss of appetite during the transition. If issues persist, slow down the mixing ratio and consult your vet. A healthy puppy should have firm, consistent stools and good energy levels. If you see red flags, pause and seek professional advice.
- Step 5: Store properly: Keep the dry food in a cool, dry place in its original bag inside an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent pests. Use within 6–8 weeks of opening. Stale or contaminated food can cause illness; always check for off smells or mold before feeding.
