Setup, Compatibility & Care
When introducing this diet, follow your veterinarian's recommended transition plan, typically over 5 to 7 days, to allow your dog's digestive system to adjust. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any unused portion should be covered and refrigerated to maintain freshness. Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean water. Do not mix this food with other brands or proteins unless specifically instructed by your vet, as cross-contamination can provoke an allergic reaction.
