Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a veterinary-exclusive diet, you must consult your veterinarian to determine if it is appropriate for your dog's specific health profile. When introducing this food, follow a strict 7-10 day transition period: start by mixing 25% of the new food with 75% of the old, gradually increasing the ratio until your dog is eating 100% Mature Consult. Store the unopened 85g pouches in a cool, dry place and refrigerate any unused portion of an opened pouch, ensuring it is brought back to room temperature before serving.
