Transition Instructions
When transitioning your dog to ORIJEN from another food (including other ORIJEN recipes), it's important to do so gradually. Over a 10–14 day period, mix the new ORIJEN food with their current food, increasing the amount of ORIJEN each day. By day 14, your dog should be eating 100% ORIJEN. This helps avoid digestive upset and supports a smooth transition.
