Passover & Pets

For many households, preparing for Passover means removing chametz (leavened grains) from the home. While pets aren’t required to “keep kosher,” some owners choose chametz-free pet food to help maintain a chametz-free home during the holiday. If you’re planning to switch your pet’s food, keep in mind that sudden changes can upset their stomach. A gradual transition is best, and we’ve put together a simple step-by-step guide to help. If your pet experiences digestive issues, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite, slow the transition even further. And once the holiday ends, don’t forget to ease them back onto their regular food just as gradually.
