Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the mousse.

Ensure the food is stored correctly and not expired. Try warming the mousse slightly to enhance aroma. Consult your veterinarian if refusal persists, as it may indicate an underlying issue or the need for a different therapeutic diet.

Digestive upset continues despite feeding the diet.

Ensure you are feeding the correct amount as recommended by your vet and that the transition was gradual. Your vet may need to re-evaluate the diagnosis or treatment plan.
