Troubleshooting

Dog experiencing digestive upset (loose stools, vomiting)

This can occur during a diet change. Ensure you are transitioning the food gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of the old food. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.

Dog refusing to eat the food

Some dogs can be picky. Try warming the food slightly with a little warm water to enhance aroma, or mix in a small, vet-approved topper. Ensure the food is within its expiry date and stored correctly to maintain freshness.

Dog not maintaining ideal body weight

Consult your veterinarian to rule out underlying health issues. If the dog is healthy, you may need to adjust portion sizes based on their activity level and metabolism, ensuring they are within the recommended feeding guidelines for their weight and age.
