Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food
Ensure a gradual transition as outlined above. Try warming the food slightly or adding a small amount of low-sodium broth (ensure it's dog-safe) to enhance aroma and palatability.
Digestive upset (e.g., loose stools) after switching
Slow down the transition process. If symptoms persist after a full transition, consult your veterinarian. Ensure adequate water intake.
