We know cats can be a little particular when it comes to food, especially if they’re used to dry kibble. But the good news is in just 3 days, your cat will be happily tucking into a bowl of Fresh Marro. Here are our top tips for making the switch:
DAY ONE: START SMALL AND TRY CHICKEN FIRST
Put a spoonful of gently warmed Succulent Chicken on a clean saucer. Be sure to remove their usual dry food and any other treats when serving.
You can warm your Marro meals by popping the pouch into warm water for 10 minutes, or into the microwave for 10 seconds.
Let your cat get curious at their own pace - they like to sniff things out! Don’t worry if they don’t dive in straight away, it's normal for day one. If your cat doesn't tuck in, that's fine - lift the food after 20 minutes and replace with their usual dry food.
DAY TWO: BUILD FAMILIARITY AND GRADUALLY INCREASE
If your cat ate some Marro on day one, happy days. Gradually increase the amount you're feeding at each meal time. Continue to stick with Succulent Chicken for now to help their stomach to adapt to the new food, and remove other food whilst serving.
If your cat didn't have a taster yesterday, repeat the day one steps. It's likely this time your cat will show some more interest as it's not so new and scary now.
DAY THREE: READY FOR THE FULL EXPERIENCE
Continue to gradually increase the amount of Marro until your cat is eating their full portion, and decrease the dry food. You can also start introducing your cat to some of the other recipes in your trial box.
Remember, cats have their own schedules. Even if it takes a few days (or weeks), keep offering Marro. They'll soon realise what they've been missing and give it a try.

You've made a great decision in switching your cat to Fresh food like Marro. Because of the human quality ingredients and the way we gently cook and portion our meals, cats can absorb more of the nutrients, which means you may notice health benefits like a shiny glossy coat, improved gut health (less smelly poos), more energy, and easier weight management. Definitely something worth sticking with.
