FAQs
What age range is Butcher's Simply Gentle Dog Food suitable for?
This food is developed to be 100% complete and balanced for adult dogs. It is not specifically formulated for puppies or senior dogs, so consult your veterinarian for specific life-stage recommendations.
Can I mix this food with other brands?
While it's generally recommended to feed a consistent diet, you can transition gradually. If mixing, do so in small amounts and monitor your dog for any digestive changes. It's best to consult your vet for personalized advice.
What does 'hypoallergenic' mean in this context?
Hypoallergenic means it is formulated without common ingredients that can cause allergic reactions in dogs, such as wheat, wheat gluten, and dairy.
How much food should I feed my dog?
Feeding guidelines vary based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. Please refer to the feeding guide on the product packaging for specific recommendations, and consult your veterinarian for tailored advice.
Are there any artificial ingredients in this food?
No, Butcher's Simply Gentle Dog Food is made with only natural ingredients and contains no artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives.
What are prebiotics and why are they included?
Prebiotics (like FOS and MOS) are non-digestible fibres that act as food for beneficial gut bacteria. They help to support a healthy digestive system and promote the growth of good bacteria in your dog's gut.
Troubleshooting
Dog refusing to eat the food
Ensure the food is served at room temperature. You can try gently warming it or adding a small amount of warm water. Mix with a small amount of a previously accepted food if transitioning.
Digestive upset after feeding
Although formulated for sensitive stomachs, individual sensitivities can vary. Reintroduce the food gradually or consult your veterinarian. Ensure correct portion sizes are being fed.
Food not staying fresh after opening tray
Always refrigerate opened trays immediately and consume within 48 hours. Ensure the tray is covered or transferred to an airtight container before refrigerating.
