Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Veterinary Consultation: Before introducing this food, have your veterinarian calculate your dog's ideal caloric intake based on their target weight.
- Transitioning: When switching from a standard diet, mix in the Satiety loaf gradually over 5-7 days to prevent digestive upset.
- Storage: Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep the loaf refrigerated and use within 48 hours for optimal freshness.
