How much salmon is in the food?

What are chondroprotectives?

Chondroprotectives are compounds like glucosamine and chondroitin that help support and maintain healthy joints and cartilage. They are sourced from hydrolysed crustacean shells and cartilage extract in this formula.

How should I store the dog food?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the bag is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness.

Can I mix this food with other brands?

It is best to transition gradually to avoid digestive upset. While mixing small amounts temporarily during transition is acceptable, prolonged mixing with significantly different foods is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Dog experiencing digestive upset (loose stools, vomiting) after starting the food.

This is often due to the rich formulation. Slow down the transition period further, ensuring a more gradual introduction over 10-14 days. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.

Dog refusing to eat the food.

Ensure the food is fresh and properly stored. Try warming the food slightly with a small amount of warm water or adding a small amount of wet food to entice them. Confirm the kibble size is appropriate for your small breed.

Skin or coat not improving as expected.

Allow at least 6-8 weeks for noticeable improvements in skin and coat condition. Ensure the dog is drinking enough water and that no other factors (e.g., environmental, other supplements) are interfering. Consult your veterinarian if no improvement is seen.
