Troubleshooting

Dog refusing to eat the new food

Mix a small amount with their current food, gradually increasing the ratio. You can also try lightly warming the food or adding a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma.

Loose stools or digestive upset after switching

Slow down the transition process to the new food, extending it over a longer period (e.g., 10-14 days). Ensure adequate fresh water is always available.

Food does not seem fresh upon opening

Check the expiry date and ensure the packaging was properly sealed before purchase. Contact the retailer if the bag appears damaged or tampered with.

Dog develops itchy skin despite the food
