Introducing Skipper to your cat
Start the transition over 7-10 days to give your pet time to adjust. Begin by mixing a small amount of Skipper air dried pet food with their current food. Each day, gradually increase the proportion of Skipper while reducing the old diet, allowing your pet’s digestion and taste preferences to adapt comfortably. This slow change helps minimise tummy upsets and makes the switch easier - even for fussy eaters. 

Feeding Tips for Cats
- Cut back on distractions: A fussy cat is far more likely to eat their meal if they’re not holding out for something tastier. Try cutting back on treats so Skipper doesn’t have to compete with a more tempting alternative.
- Boost the appeal: If you’re transitioning, try adding a small amount of Skipper canned food to the air dried range. The higher moisture content and aroma can make meals more appealing and help encourage picky eaters.
- Create a mealtime routine: If your cat hasn’t finished their meal within 20 minutes, they may simply not be hungry. Remove the bowl and offer it again later. Avoid giving treats in between, or you risk undoing the progress.
- Reduce mealtime distractions: Some cats are easily distracted. Feeding in a quiet area, away from children or other pets, can help them stay focused and enjoy their meal.
