Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin feeding, consult your veterinarian to determine the appropriate caloric intake based on your pet's current weight and clinical status. When transitioning, ensure the food is served at room temperature to maximize its aroma, which can further entice a reluctant eater. Any unused portion must be covered, refrigerated, and used within 24-48 hours. If syringe feeding, you may need to mix the food with a small amount of warm water to achieve a thinner consistency, but always verify this technique with your veterinary staff first.
