Our pets thrive on predictability; they often know when mealtime is approaching down to the minute. However, life isn&#8217;t static. Our schedules change, and sometimes our pets&#8217; routines must change with them.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"26\">Common non-medical reasons for a schedule shift include:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"27\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"27,0,0\">Starting a new job with different hours.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"27,1,0\">Daylight Saving Time shifts (Article 1).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"27,2,0\">Moving to a new home.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"27,3,0\">Integrating a new pet caregiver (like a sitter or roommate).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"28\">Whatever the reason, if you need to move your pet&#8217;s morning or evening meal, you cannot simply do it overnight. This article provides a fact-based guide on how to transition your pet gradually and avoid the common pitfalls of a sudden shift.<\/p>\n<hr data-path-to-node=\"29\" \/>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"30\"><b data-path-to-node=\"30\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Risk of a Sudden Shift (The Facts)<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"31\">Sudden changes to a feeding schedule, especially significant shifts of an hour or more, can have negative impacts on your pet\u2019s physical and behavioral health:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"32\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"32,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"32,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Digestive Upset:<\/b> A pet\u2019s digestive enzymes and gut flora become acclimated to processing food at specific intervals.

When those cues happen and the food <i data-path-to-node=\"32,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"146\">doesn&#8217;t<\/i> appear, it causes confusion and anxiety. This can manifest as increased vocalization, destruction, or separation anxiety.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-path-to-node=\"33\" \/>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"34\"><b data-path-to-node=\"34\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Proven Method: The Gradual Shift<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"35\">The solution is to &#8220;reset&#8221; your pet\u2019s internal clock slowly, usually over the course of <b data-path-to-node=\"35\" data-index-in-node=\"88\">one to two weeks<\/b>.
