FAQs
Is this food suitable for puppies?
This formula is designed for active adult dogs. Consult with your veterinarian if you are looking for a high-performance formula for a working breed puppy.
What does 'hypoallergenic' mean in this context?
The recipe is formulated to exclude common ingredients that typically trigger sensitivities, making it easier to digest for dogs with delicate systems.
How long will a 12.5kg bag last?
Duration depends on the size, weight, and activity level of your dog. Always follow the feeding guidelines on the bag as a starting point.
Can I feed this to my house dog?
It is generally not recommended for sedentary pets as the high caloric density may lead to unwanted weight gain.
Are there any artificial preservatives?
No, this formula contains no added artificial colours, flavours, or sugars.
Should I add supplements to this food?
The food is formulated as a complete and balanced diet, so additional supplements are generally not necessary unless specifically directed by your vet.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses the new food
Try mixing a small amount of warm water or low-salt meat broth with the kibble to enhance the aroma.
Dog develops loose stools during transition
Slow down the transition process by keeping the ratio of old-to-new food steady for an extra few days until the digestive system adjusts.
Weight gain observed
Reduce the daily portion size slightly, as the dog may not be meeting the extreme activity levels required for this high-calorie formula.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To transition your dog to Dr. John Hypoallergenic Activ, introduce it gradually over a 7-to-10-day period by mixing it with their previous food, slowly increasing the ratio of the new kibble. Store the 12.5kg bag in a cool, dry place and ensure the top is sealed tightly after each serving to preserve freshness and crunch. Always provide access to fresh, clean drinking water, especially for active dogs, to support digestion and metabolic processes. If your dog has pre-existing health conditions, consult your veterinarian before switching to a high-protein performance diet.
