Product Information
Full details
This Calibra Premium Line Sensitive Lamb Adult Dry Dog Food is designed for adult dogs of all breeds with sensitive stomachs. Its primary benefit is a gentle, lamb-based formula that supports digestive health and immunity, while a potential caveat is the need to monitor individual dog's response to the grain mix (corn, rice, oats). Key features include a single protein source (lamb), balanced grains, added prebiotics and omega fatty acids, and the absence of common allergens like soy and artificial additives.

FAQs
Is this food suitable for puppies?
No, this formula is specifically designed for adult dogs. Puppy nutrition requires different nutrient profiles and is not covered by this product.
How much food should I feed my dog?
The daily amount depends on your dog's age, activity level, and metabolism. Refer to the feeding guide table on the packaging for recommended daily portions and adjust as needed based on your dog's body condition.
Can I mix this food with wet food?
Yes, you can moisten the dry food with water or a small amount of compatible wet food. However, ensure you maintain the correct total daily caloric intake and monitor for any digestive changes.
What is the source of Omega 3 fatty acids?
The Omega 3 fatty acids come from salmon oil, which is beneficial for skin, coat, and overall health.
How long does it take to see results from the prebiotics?
Improvements in digestive health and immunity from prebiotics are typically gradual and may become noticeable over several weeks of consistent feeding.
Does this food contain any artificial preservatives?
No, this product is formulated without artificial colorants or preservatives.
What should I do if my dog has a known lamb allergy?
This food is lamb-based and therefore not suitable for dogs with a diagnosed lamb allergy. You should consult your veterinarian for alternative protein sources.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the food
Try moistening the food with warm water or a small amount of low-sodium broth. Ensure a gradual transition from their previous food. Check if the food has been stored correctly and is not stale.
Digestive upset (vomiting, diarrhea) after starting the food
This could indicate a sensitivity or a too-rapid transition. Slow down the transition process over a longer period (10-14 days) or consult your veterinarian if symptoms persist.
Lack of improvement in skin or coat condition
Results can vary. Ensure the food is being fed consistently and as directed. Allow at least 4-6 weeks for noticeable changes. If no improvement is seen, consult your veterinarian to rule out other underlying issues.
Stool odor is not reduced
While Yucca extract helps, individual responses vary. Ensure other factors like diet consistency and gut health are optimal. Consult your vet if the odor is unusually strong or persistent.
