Choosing the right pet food is a big priority for loving pet owners. Rayne Clinical Nutrition offers vet recommended whole foods pet food. Read on to learn how to switch your pet’s food in a safe way.
We spend so much time and effort in choosing the right foods and diet for ourselves. Our pets deserve the same consideration when it comes to choosing their diet. But it can be hard to find a healthy pet food with all the choices out there with so many pet food brands and innumerable pet food reviews. I am now trying out Rayne Clinical Nutrition, a vet recommended whole foods cat food for my little Sati.
Let’s see if Sati likes it and we’ll also discuss a method for switching pet food safely because you cannot just change pet food overnight or your pet could get sick.
Rayne Clinical Nutrition vet recommended whole foods
I would only consider changing Sati’s food if I truly believe my new choice is the best pet food for her. And the number one reason I chose to go with Rayne Clinical Nutrition is that it is a whole food diet. Getting the best whole food ingredients with all the nutritional basic needs sounds way more appealing than lesser brands who take filler ingredients and artificially add nutrients.
Did you know that many (not all) of their products are made from pork? This really surprised me. But it made total sense when I was told that this was due to an increasing allergy to fish and poultry in pets.
I was sent a bag of dry food and lots of wet food for Sati to try. I also got 2 bags of Rewards S.I.T. treats which are good for both cats and dogs. Sati has never been fond of treats, even these homemade cat treat. TIP: I found that if I cut small pieces of the treats and add it to the wet food – adding a bit more each time – she eventually will go bonkers for them on their own.
I also loved the fact that Rayne Clinical Nutrition is a Canadian company and that many employees are pet owners themselves. Just like their customers, the staff really get the human/animal bond that we develop with our pets. Dogs and cats are part of the family and each party plays a big role in improving the health and happiness of all involved. We want to give them the best so they can live the longest possible.
How to switch pet food
The idea of switching dog food or switching cat food can be daunting if you have never done it before. This is my 4th switch in 11 years and luckily Sati has always accepted any food switch pretty easily.
Pet owners really need to know how to switch dog food or how to change cat food in a safe manner. A change in diet can make your pet’s tummy sick. Or worse your pet might not eating for more than 24 hours and that can become a life-threatening matter.
So here is how you make the change and this is how I switched Sati to the Rayne feline diet cat food:
- The transition should be slow and smooth, done over 5 to 7 days.
- On day 1 add just a tiny bit of the new food to your pets normal diet.
- Over the next days change out 20% of the old food to the new food.
- Day 2 20% new food with 80% old food.
- On day 3 40% new food with 60% old food.
- Day 4 60% new food with 40% old food.
- On d 5 80% new food with 20% old food.
- Day 6 100% new food.
- This is a guideline so adjust to your pet’s reaction.
- New tastes and feels or kibble sizes need time to be investigated and trusted.
- Keep an eye out on your pet but do not stand there watching them eat. This can cause extra stress.

What a cute kitty! I’m still to be convinced by the vet recommended foods here – we’ve done best by researching and finding foods for my cat that are grain free and have a high real food protein content. Perhaps Rayne Vet Recommended will end up over here
Sati says thank you, Fiona 🙂 I believe the US sites ships online but probably not to the UK. I had no idea the market for healthy pet food here was more limited.
Such great information shared here, I have been thinking of changing my dogs food for a while. Many thanks
So glad you found it helpful, tips are good for dogs and cats!
Pickicling the right food for your fur baby can be tricky! I have two cats and both need different types of food for different reasons. It’s crazy how one food can be awesome for one pet but horrible for the other
Yes that is so true. My first high-end pet food eventually gave my cat crystals and had to switch. Then went grain free, now this one. Wow 2 food for 2 cats is not fun. Do they fight over each other’s foods lol?
This is awesome information. We just got a kitty and I have no clue when it comes to switching out food. Thanks.
Congrats on the new kitty 🙂 So glad you found the info useful. I hope kitty is not fussy.
I was just chatting with some friends about a raw diet for dogs. I’m thinking it might be good for Izzy! Your kitty is beautiful!!
Sati says thank you 🙂 Oh I have not seen I think a pic of Izzy in a while! A whole food or raw diet is a good alternative to most pet food diets out there for sure.
Cute kitty! And having a kitty (also cute!) ourselves, we do worry a lot about what she eats. This looks like good stuff — why have I never heard of it?! Thanks for the heads up! 🙂
Now I want to see a pic of your kitty! You can only get it at a vet’s office, you will not find it in stores. I think you can order online from their USA site too.
These days I just feed my cats with grain free food and I cook chicken and fish (they are crazy for salmon, just like me!!) for them…been thinking to feed them raw, but I am just too lazy..maybe next time when we get a new kitty. Glad that your Sati enjoyed the food 🙂
My previous food was grain-free, this one is close to it but has other benefits. Mine like a tiny bit of tuna and then ignores it lol. Yeah, raw food sounds like a good idea but lots of trouble to make and $$ to buy.
I’m so glad to hear your pet reacted well to the food switch!
Thank you for this informative post. I don’t have a pet (though I’d love a dog at home!), but I am sure this post will be of great help to other pet owners. 🙂
Maybe there is a dog in your future 🙂 ? Thanks for your comment and feel free to share the post with friends with pets.
We have been looking at switching our cat food but concerned about how she will react to it. This is helpful
I am so glad Scott you found this post and found it helpful. The guidelines to switch here are good but if your cat is resistant just go a bit slower.
Sati is such cutie! We’ve got a brand of dog food that Mochi adores and we’re really happy with it and it’s good for her weight too (she has knee problems and needs to be light as possible).
Sati says thank you! Ah poor Mochi for her knees! I hear purebreds often have specific issues. Glad she loves her food.
My parents have ALWAYS fed their pets WHOLE FOODS – oat meal with turkey and chicken legs was the MEAL when I was growing up with dogs. No clue what they do now, but I know it’s still whole foods!
Yeah back in the days pets ate the real deal, and yes whole foods. Did they serve the meat raw? Cats do need a few extra nutrients not found in regular food though like taurine I think.
Yep!! RAW! Because cooked bones could get stuck in their throats!
That is good.
