FAQs
Is this food appropriate for puppies?
Yes, Specific CID Digestive Support is formulated for dogs of all life stages, including growing puppies.
Can I feed this to my dog long-term?
Yes, it is nutritionally complete and balanced, but you should continue to monitor your dog’s health with your veterinarian periodically.
Do I need a prescription to buy this?
While it is a veterinary-grade diet, availability may vary by region; however, it is strongly recommended that you use it only under veterinary supervision.
Should I mix this with my dog's current food?
Only during the initial transition period. Once the dog has fully transitioned, they should ideally consume only the Specific CID diet for best results.
How should I store the 12kg bag?
Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, and keep the bag tightly closed to maintain nutritional integrity.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food
Try warming the food slightly with warm water to release aromas or mix in a small amount of warm water to create a soft consistency.
Stool consistency does not improve
Consult your veterinarian to rule out other medical issues or parasites, and ensure no 'human food' or treats are being fed during the trial period.
