Additional Information

Precautions

• Gradual Food Change: Shift to the new diet slowly over seven to fourteen days so your dog’s stomach can adjust without issues.
• Watch Body Condition: Rich, calorie heavy recipes can lead to weight gain in large breed dogs that are not very active, so monitor closely.
• Be Aware of Sensitivities: Even high quality diets still use proteins that may not suit dogs with specific allergies.
• Hydration Support: Always serve meals with clean, fresh water to help digestion and maintain hydration.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive upset: Some dogs may experience soft stools or gas when consuming high-protein, legume-rich diets.
• Allergic reactions: Symptoms like itchy skin, hair loss, or ear infections may occur if a dog is sensitive to an ingredient.
• Overweight risk: Without portion adjustment, calorie-dense food can contribute to unwanted weight gain in lower activity dogs.

Storage Information

• Store in a cool, dry place: Keep the food at room temperature between ~15°C and ~27°C; avoid heat or humidity to preserve nutrients.
• Keep bag sealed: After opening, securely reseal or transfer to an airtight container to protect freshness and prevent spoilage.
