FAQs

What weight range is this food suitable for?

This food is suitable for adult dogs weighing between 11kg and 25kg.

How long does it take to see results?

While individual results may vary, studies show significant owner satisfaction after 2 months of consistent feeding. It's recommended to feed for at least 6-8 weeks to observe improvements.

Can I mix this with wet food?

You can mix it with a compatible wet food, but ensure the transition is gradual and the total daily intake is balanced to avoid overfeeding or digestive upset.

Is this food suitable for puppies?

No, this formula is specifically designed for adult dogs. Puppies have different nutritional needs and require a specialized puppy food.

What are Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids?

These are essential fatty acids crucial for skin barrier function and reducing inflammation. They help support a healthy skin and coat, making the skin less sensitive to environmental irritants.

How should I store the food?

Store the food in its original packaging, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.

What should I do if my dog has an allergic reaction?

If you suspect an allergic reaction, discontinue feeding immediately and consult your veterinarian. While the formula is low-allergen, individual sensitivities can occur.

Troubleshooting

Dog refusing to eat the new food.

Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. Try slightly warming the kibble with a little water or mixing with a small amount of wet food (ensure it's compatible).

Mild digestive upset (e.g., loose stools) during transition.

Slow down the transition process. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.

No visible improvement in skin condition after several weeks.

Skin sensitivities can take time to improve. Continue feeding for at least 2 months. If there's no change, consult your veterinarian to rule out other underlying issues or discuss alternative solutions.

Dog seems less interested in food over time.

Ensure proper storage to maintain freshness. Rotate feeding bowls or try different feeding methods (e.g., puzzle feeders).
