How does this compare with the discontinued Nutro Max Indoor dry cat food that my two boys just love?
Answer by • May 03, 2020
The manufacturer has discontinued the entire Nutro Max line. This variety would be suitable to transition to. Whenever possible, we recommend at least a 7 - 10 day transition before you begin feeding the new formula exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new formula exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.
