Setup, Compatibility & Care
When introducing Specific CIW Digestive Support to your dog's diet, it is recommended to transition slowly over several days by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with their previous diet to avoid further stomach upset. For storage, keep the unopened tins in a cool, dry place. Once opened, the remaining food should be covered and stored in the refrigerator; it is best to serve it at room temperature to enhance aroma and palatability. Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean drinking water at all times. If you have any concerns regarding your pet's reaction to the food, consult your veterinary clinic immediately.
