Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the tablets.
The tablets are made with poultry liver, which is generally palatable. Try hiding the tablet in a small amount of wet food, a treat, or a pill pocket. You can also try crushing the tablet and mixing it with a small amount of palatable food or liquid, ensuring the full dose is consumed.
No noticeable improvement in digestive issues after a week.
Consult with your veterinarian. While NutriCareVet supports gastric function, persistent or severe digestive problems may indicate an underlying health condition that requires professional diagnosis and treatment.
The dog experiences mild, temporary digestive upset after starting the supplement.
