Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food.
Ensure the transition is done gradually over 4 days. You can try slightly warming the food or adding a small amount of Eukanuba's wet food to entice them. Check that the food is stored correctly to maintain freshness.
Digestive upset (e.g., loose stools, gas) after starting the food.
Slow down the transition process. If symptoms persist after a full 4-day transition, consult your veterinarian, as the dog may have a sensitivity. Ensure fresh water is always available.
Dog is gaining too much weight.
Review the feeding guidelines and measure portions accurately. Adjust the daily amount based on your dog's actual activity level and body condition. Consult your veterinarian if weight gain is a significant concern.
Dog seems to have less energy.
Ensure the dog is receiving the correct portion size for their activity level. Consult your veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues, as this can be a sign of other problems beyond diet.
