Troubleshooting

Dog refusing to eat the food

Try warming the food slightly to enhance its aroma. Mix a small amount with a familiar food or topper. Ensure the dog is not being overfed with treats, which can reduce appetite for meals.

Digestive upset (e.g., loose stools)

Introduce the new food gradually over 7-10 days, mixing it with the old food. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian to rule out other causes or intolerances.

Food spoils quickly after opening

Ensure the opened can is transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated immediately. Discard any food left out at room temperature for more than two hours.
