FAQs
Do I need a prescription to buy this?
Yes, this is a veterinary dietetic feed and should only be used under the direction and supervision of a veterinarian.
Can I feed this to my puppy?
This formula is designed for adult dogs; please consult your veterinarian if you have a puppy with gastrointestinal issues.
How long should my dog remain on this diet?
The feeding period is determined by your veterinarian based on the underlying health condition and your dog's response to the diet.
Can I add toppers to this food?
It is best to avoid adding human food or high-fat toppers, as these can interfere with the specific fat-restricted goals of the diet.
Does this food help with weight management?
While it is low-fat, it is primarily intended for digestive and pancreatic support; consult your vet for specific weight management protocols.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food
Try slightly warming the kibble with a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma, or consult your vet about a slower transition period.
Persistent diarrhea during transition
Slow down the transition process by using a larger percentage of the previous food; if symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin feeding, mix increasing amounts of Calibra VD Gastrointestinal and Pancreas Low Fat with the dog's previous food over 5–7 days to ensure a smooth transition. Store the kibble in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is sealed properly between feedings to maintain freshness and nutrient integrity. Always provide access to fresh, clean water at all times. Because this is a medical diet, avoid mixing it with high-fat treats or table scraps, as these will counteract the specific nutritional benefits of the low-fat formula.
