Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the food.

Try mixing the dry kibble with the wet food, or try the gravy or loaf options if you have not already. Ensure that your dog is eating in a quiet area. If the problem persists, consult your veterinarian to rule out other potential causes.

Diarrhea or vomiting after starting the food.
