The BOM BOM raw and sous vide diets are made with simple, nutrient-rich, and easy-to-digest ingredients (thanks to their high bioavailability), and many pets adapt well to this natural diet during transition. The transition process to a new diet will usually depend on an individual pet's gut physiology, as it is important to remember that all pets are different. A large majority of pets do well with an immediate transition while a small number of pets may require a more gradual transition. Please refer to the following methods for transitioning your pet's diet:
1. Slow Transition Method:
For pets with sensitive digestive systems, or those who have been on dry kibble or high-carbohydrate/fibre diets for an extended period, it may be best to allow more time for a smooth transition.
Method 1: Feed one meal with a BOM BOM meal pack and the other with your pet’s current food. Make sure to feed the current food according to the recommended amount. Monitor your pet’s condition over the course of about one week. If there are no issues, you can switch all meals (two or three per day) to BOM BOM.
Method 2: Another option is to mix BOM BOM meals with dry kibble in the same bowl. Start with 25% BOM BOM and 75% current food. Observe your pet’s stool and any reactions for 3–5 days. If your pet is adapting well, gradually adjust the ratio to 50:50, then 75:25, and help them transition fully to the BOM BOM diet over the course of two weeks.
2. Direct Transition Method:
If your pet has no digestive or health concerns, you can switch directly to BOM BOM meals. Most pets adapt well to the BOM BOM diet. During the initial stages, stools may be slightly inconsistent, but this typically stabilises over time. It’s important to monitor your pet’s stool closely during the transition, as the adaptation period may vary from pet to pet. If loose stools persist, please contact the BB Support Team and we will help to determine if a slow transition is needed.
