Setup, Compatibility & Care
Transitioning your dog to Calibra should be done gradually over a 7-day period by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with the previous diet. Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean drinking water at all times. To maintain the integrity of the fresh beef ingredients and nutrient profiles, store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly after each feeding to prevent oxidation and keep the kibble crunchy.
