FAQs

What age is this food suitable for?

This food is formulated for adult small dogs. It is not specifically designed for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs with special dietary needs. Consult your veterinarian for age-appropriate food recommendations.

How should I transition my dog to this food?

It is recommended to introduce Bakers gradually over seven days. Start by mixing a small amount of the new food with your dog's current food, and gradually increase the proportion of the new food while decreasing the old food over the week.

Can I feed this to my large breed dog?

This food is specifically formulated with small kibble size and nutritional balance for small dogs. While not ideal, occasional small amounts are unlikely to cause harm, but it is best to feed a food specifically designed for large breeds for optimal nutrition.

What are the main protein sources in this food?

The primary protein source is beef, along with protein from grains and other ingredients. The formula is enriched with high-quality protein to help maintain muscle strength.

How much should I feed my dog?

Feeding amounts vary based on your dog's age, activity level, and body condition. Refer to the feeding guide on the packaging for recommended daily amounts and adjust as needed to maintain an optimal body condition. It is always best to consult your veterinarian.

Does this food contain any grains?

Yes, this food contains fiber from whole grains to support healthy digestion.

Where can I find the expiry date?

The expiry date is typically printed on the packaging, often on the bottom or side. Please check the specific location on your product bag.

Troubleshooting

Dog is reluctant to eat the new food.

Ensure you are transitioning gradually over seven days. You can also try slightly warming the food with a small amount of water to enhance its aroma and palatability. Consult your vet if reluctance persists.

Dog experiences mild digestive upset (e.g., loose stools) after switching.

Slow down the transition process, extending it beyond seven days if necessary. Ensure adequate fresh water is always available. If symptoms are severe or persist, consult your veterinarian.

Dog's coat does not appear as glossy as expected.

Ensure the dog is receiving the correct portion size and has a balanced diet. Consistent feeding over several weeks is needed to see coat improvements. Consult your veterinarian to rule out underlying health issues.
