This food is formulated for specific digestive support. It is not intended as a standard maintenance diet for healthy dogs unless directed by a veterinarian.
How should I store the 2kg bag?

How long will a 2kg bag last?
The duration depends on your dog's size and the daily portion recommended by your vet; check the feeding guide on the packaging for estimates.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the food
Try slightly warming the kibble with a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma, or consult your vet if refusal persists for more than 24 hours.
Loose stools persist during transition
Slow down the transition process by keeping the ratio of old food to new food at a lower percentage for a few additional days.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When introducing Specific CID Digestive Support, it is crucial to follow a transition schedule. Replace a small portion of the previous diet with the new food over a period of 5-7 days to prevent further stomach upset. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times, as proper hydration is essential for digestion. Store the 2kg bag in a cool, dry place and keep the bag sealed to maintain the freshness and nutrient integrity of the kibble. Consult your veterinarian for the exact daily feeding amount based on your dog's current weight and health status.
