Troubleshooting
Dog is not eating the new food.
Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. You can try slightly warming the food or mixing in a small amount of wet food (ensure it's also weight-management appropriate).
Digestive upset (vomiting, diarrhea) after switching.
Slow down the transition process further. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.
Dog appears hungry shortly after eating.
Ensure you are feeding the correct portion size according to the guidelines. Consider adding a small amount of safe, low-calorie vegetables like green beans (plain, cooked) to their meal for added bulk and fiber, or ensure adequate fiber content in the kibble.
No visible weight loss after several weeks.
Verify portion control and ensure consistency in feeding. Crucially, confirm the dog is receiving adequate daily exercise as recommended. Consult your veterinarian to rule out underlying health issues.
