Troubleshooting

Ensure a gradual transition period and try warming the food slightly or adding a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma.

Consult your veterinarian to verify the portion sizes and ensure no additional treats or table scraps are being provided outside the diet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your dog on this diet, schedule a consultation with your veterinarian to determine the target weight and appropriate daily portion sizes. Store the 12kg bag in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is sealed tightly after each use to maintain the integrity of the vitamins and the freshness of the ingredients. When transitioning to this diet, gradually introduce it over a period of 5-7 days, mixing it with the previous food to avoid digestive upset. Always provide your dog with access to clean, fresh water at all times.
