Troubleshooting
Dog is reluctant to eat the new food
Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. You can try warming the food slightly or mixing in a small amount of wet food (if appropriate for your dog's diet) to enhance palatability.
Digestive upset (e.g., gas, loose stools) after switching
Slow down the transition process, extending it beyond the recommended 10 days. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.
Dog is not losing weight as expected
Verify the portion sizes are accurate and consistent with the feeding guidelines. Ensure the dog is not receiving excessive treats or table scraps. Consult your veterinarian to rule out underlying medical conditions and discuss an appropriate exercise plan.
Coat appears dull or skin seems dry
While the food contains essential fatty acids, other factors like hydration and environment play a role. Ensure ample fresh water is available. If the issue persists after several weeks, consult your veterinarian to check for other causes.
