FAQs

What age is Natures Deli Puppy Turkey and Rice suitable for?

This food is specifically formulated for puppies and junior dogs aged between 2 and 24 months.

Can I feed this to my adult dog?

No, this formula is designed for the specific nutritional needs of growing puppies. Adult dogs require a different balance of nutrients, and an adult dog food should be used instead.

How do I transition my puppy to this food?

A gradual transition over 7-10 days is recommended. Mix increasing amounts of Natures Deli with decreasing amounts of their old food to avoid digestive upset.

Does this food contain any artificial ingredients?

No, Natures Deli is committed to providing natural dog food. This product is free from artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives.

What are the benefits of the added prebiotics and probiotics?

Prebiotics (MOS & FOS) and the probiotic *Bacillus Subtilis* work together to promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria, which aids digestion, improves nutrient absorption, and can contribute to better stool quality.

Is this food suitable for puppies with allergies?

The recipe is formulated to be hypoallergenic, excluding common ingredients that cause allergic reactions and is gluten-free. However, if your puppy has known severe allergies, always consult your veterinarian.

How should I store the Natures Deli Puppy Turkey and Rice food?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, reseal the bag tightly to maintain freshness and protect from moisture and pests. It's best to use within 4-6 weeks of opening.

Troubleshooting

Puppy experiences loose stools after switching food.

This can be normal during the transition period. Ensure you are following the gradual transition guide. If the issue persists after 10 days, reduce the amount of new food and extend the transition period, or consult your veterinarian.

Puppy refuses to eat the new food.

Try warming the food slightly with a little warm water to enhance aroma. Ensure the food is fresh and properly stored. Make sure the transition is gradual to avoid overwhelming the puppy's senses. Consult your veterinarian if refusal continues for more than 24-48 hours.

Puppy seems less energetic or is gaining weight too quickly.

Review the feeding guidelines and adjust portion sizes based on your puppy's specific needs and activity level. Consult your veterinarian to ensure the calorie intake is appropriate for your puppy's growth stage and breed predispositions.

Skin or coat condition appears unchanged or worsened.

While the food contains beneficial fatty acids, significant improvements may take several weeks. Ensure your puppy is receiving adequate hydration and that there are no underlying health issues. Consult your veterinarian if you have concerns.
