FAQs
Do I need a prescription to buy this?
While it is a specialized therapeutic food, it is best to consult with your veterinarian before starting it to ensure it matches your dog's specific medical needs.
Can I feed this to my puppy?
This formula is designed for adult dogs. Please check the packaging for specific life-stage guidelines or consult your vet if you have a puppy with digestive issues.
How long should my dog stay on this diet?
Your veterinarian will recommend the duration based on your dog's recovery, usually ranging from one to two weeks during acute episodes or longer for chronic conditions.
Is this safe for dogs with chicken allergies?
Yes, this is a grain-free, fish-based recipe that does not contain chicken, making it a suitable alternative for many dogs with common poultry protein sensitivities.
How does psyllium husk help my dog?
Psyllium husk acts as a soluble fiber that absorbs excess water in the gut, which helps to firm up stools and regulate overall digestive movement.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food
Try slightly warming the kibble with a small amount of warm water or mixing in a vet-approved bland topper to encourage interest.

Consult your veterinarian to ensure the underlying cause of the digestive issue has been identified and that the portion size is correct for your dog's weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin feeding this diet, it is highly recommended to transition your dog slowly over a period of 5-7 days, gradually increasing the ratio of this gastrointestinal food to your dog's previous diet. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times, as proper hydration is critical for fiber-rich diets like this one to function effectively. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and keep the seal tight after every use to maintain the freshness and efficacy of the omega-3 fatty acids.
