Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food
Try warming a small amount of water and mixing it with the kibble to enhance the aroma, or consult your vet for a more gradual transition plan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Transitioning: Always introduce the diet gradually. Start by mixing 25% of the new food with 75% of the old food, increasing the proportion over a week.
- Storage: Keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Because it is packed under nitrogen, once opened, try to use the contents within a reasonable timeframe to maintain freshness.
- Feeding Schedule: Consult your veterinarian to determine the precise daily portion based on your dog's current weight, activity level, and health status.
- Fresh Water: Ensure your dog always has access to fresh, clean drinking water, especially when feeding a dry kibble diet.
