Switching to Wanpy? This guide covers a safe 7-day transition, portion and water tips, and hot-weather care for Malaysian homes. Use it with your vet's advice for your pet's age, weight and health.
Why a Slow Transition Matters in Malaysia
Malaysian homes are warm and humid year-round, which affects how pets eat and how food keeps. A sudden switch to a new food or treat can cause loose stools or vomiting, especially in cats and small dogs. A gradual transition gives the gut time to adjust and lets you spot any sensitivity early.
Wanpy offers both wet foods and treats across cats and dogs, in formats such as 90g pouches, 100g packs, 230g packs and 14gx5 or 14gx50 lickable sticks. Because these are moisture-rich or concentrated formats, portion control and clean storage matter more in our climate. Always introduce one new item at a time so you can tell what suits your pet.
7-Day Transition Schedule for Wanpy Wet Food
Use this schedule when moving from your current wet food to a Wanpy wet food such as the 90g cat pouches (Duck + Pumpkin, Tuna + Chicken & Carrot, Salmon + Chicken & Carrot, Chicken + Carrot) or Wanpy dog wet food. Keep the total daily amount similar to what your pet already eats, and adjust only the proportion of old to new food.
Day 1–2: 75% old food, 25% Wanpy. Day 3–4: 50% old, 50% Wanpy. Day 5–6: 25% old, 75% Wanpy. Day 7: 100% Wanpy. If your pet shows soft stool or refuses the mix, stay at the previous ratio for two more days before moving on.
For treats, start with a single stick or a few pieces and reduce the main meal slightly so you do not overfeed. The 14gx5 Functional Creamy Lickable Cat Treats are convenient for short introductions, while the 14gx50 packs suit multi-cat homes or longer use. Freeze-dried options like the 20g codfish or shrimp for cats, and 40g chicken, duck or liver treats for dogs, are concentrated—feed them as treats, not as a meal replacement.
Portion and Water Guidance
There is no single portion that fits every pet. Use the feeding guide on the pack as a starting point, then adjust based on body condition, age and activity. As a practical rule, treats should make up no more than about 10% of daily calories. For wet food, split the daily amount into two or more meals, especially in warm weather when food can spoil quickly.
Water is critical. Wet food adds moisture, but always provide fresh, clean water in multiple bowls around the home. Cats often drink more from wide, shallow bowls or pet fountains. In hot humid weather, change water daily and scrub bowls often to prevent biofilm. If you feed freeze-dried treats, offer water alongside—they are dry and concentrated.
For the 90g cat pouches, many adult cats do well with one to two pouches a day alongside dry food, but confirm with your vet. For dogs, use the pack guide by weight. The 230g Bone Biscuits and 100g Christmas Pack are treats—break them into smaller pieces for small breeds. The 14g lickable sticks are easy to split between cats; one stick is a treat, not a meal.
Hot Humid Weather: What to Watch
In Malaysia's climate, opened wet food should not sit out. Refrigerate leftovers immediately in a covered container and use within 24 hours. Let refrigerated food come closer to room temperature before serving, or add a little warm water to make it more aromatic. Never leave wet food down for more than 30 minutes in a warm room.
Watch for signs of heat stress: heavy panting, drooling, lethargy or seeking cool floors. Feed during cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or evening. Keep pets indoors during peak heat and ensure good ventilation. Freeze-dried treats should be stored sealed and dry; humidity can make them soft or clumpy.
Ants and pests are common in Malaysian homes. Store all Wanpy packs in airtight containers, wipe up spills, and keep the 14gx50 boxes sealed. If your pet's appetite drops in hot weather, offer smaller, more frequent meals and check water intake. Persistent refusal to eat, especially in cats, needs veterinary attention.
Choosing the Right Wanpy Format
Wanpy's range covers cats and dogs with wet food, creamy lickable treats, functional creamy treats, jerky, freeze-dried treats and biscuits. For everyday wet food, the 90g cat pouches and Wanpy dog wet food are practical single-serve options. For training or enrichment, the 14g lickable sticks and 20g/40g freeze-dried pieces are easy to portion.
The Functional Creamy Lickable Cat Treats come in 14gx5 packs with specific focuses such as Digestive Health, Kidney Care, Joint Support, Urinary Care, Hairball Control and Skin & Coat. These are treats, not medicines—use them as part of a balanced diet and ask your vet if your cat has a health condition. The Chicken Jerky and Duck Jerky lines, including rawhide twists, suit dogs that enjoy chewy textures; always supervise chewing.
With 60 products across many formats, it helps to start with a small pack to test acceptance. See the full Wanpy range at our brand hub: /brands/wanpy. For more buying guides, visit /articles.
When to See a Vet
Contact your vet if your pet has vomiting or diarrhoea lasting more than 24 hours, refuses food for more than a day, shows signs of dehydration (tacky gums, skin tenting), or has a sudden change in thirst or urination. Cats that stop eating are at risk of serious liver problems—do not wait.
Also seek advice if you notice itching, swelling or digestive upset after a new treat, or if your pet has a known condition such as kidney or urinary disease before starting any new food or supplement-style treat. This guide is general information, not veterinary advice.

FAQ
How long can I leave Wanpy wet food out in Malaysian weather?
No more than 30 minutes in a warm room. Refrigerate leftovers immediately in a covered container and use within 24 hours. Bring to room temperature or add a little warm water before serving.
Can I mix Wanpy Functional Creamy treats with medication?
These are treats, not medicines. Do not use them to replace prescribed medication. If your cat is on a therapeutic diet or medication, ask your vet before introducing any new treat.
My cat only licks the gravy and leaves the meat. What should I do?
Try mashing the food with a fork or adding a little warm water to create more gravy. Offer smaller, more frequent meals. If your cat still refuses the meat, consult your vet to rule out dental or health issues.
Are Wanpy freeze-dried treats suitable for puppies and kittens?
Freeze-dried treats are concentrated. For puppies and kittens, offer only small pieces and supervise. Ask your vet about suitable treats for growing pets, as their nutritional needs differ from adults.
How do I store the 14gx50 lickable treat boxes in a humid home?
Keep the box sealed and store in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight. After opening an individual stick, use it immediately. Do not leave opened sticks uneaten.
What should I do if my pet has diarrhoea after switching to Wanpy?
Stop the new food and return to the previous diet. If diarrhoea lasts more than 24 hours, or if your pet is lethargic or vomiting, see a vet. A slower transition over more days often helps.
