Precautions

• For Adult Dogs Only: This formula is specifically designed for adult dogs and is not intended for puppies or dogs with specific medical conditions without veterinary guidance.
• Transition Period Required: Always transition gradually over at least 14 days to minimize the risk of digestive upset when switching from another food.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Adjustment: Some dogs may experience temporary changes in stool consistency or gas during the transition period; this typically resolves once the digestive system adjusts.
• Loose Stool: The high moisture content (up to 78%) and fiber content may initially cause softer stools in some dogs; gradually transition over 14 days to minimize this.
• Allergic Reaction: Dogs sensitive to chicken, fish, or legumes may experience itching, vomiting, or diarrhea; discontinue use and consult a veterinarian if symptoms appear.
• Increased Water Intake: Due to the prebiotic fiber and salt content, some dogs may show a mild increase in water consumption; ensure fresh water is always available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes this formula specifically beneficial for dogs with sensitive stomachs?

Ans: This recipe is formulated with prebiotic fiber (fructooligosaccharide), which is clinically proven to increase healthy gut bacteria and support digestive health. The highly digestible ingredients, such as chicken, whitefish, and oatmeal, are also gentle on sensitive digestive systems.

Q2: Is this the same product as Blissful Belly?

Ans: Yes. Blissful Belly has been renamed to Digestive Care as part of a product line refresh. The formula, recipe, and ingredients remain exactly the same; only the name and packaging have been updated.

Q3: How much should I feed my dog per day?

Ans: The general guideline is 1/2 to 1 can per 10 lbs. of body weight, daily. However, individual needs vary based on age, activity level, and breed. Adjusting food amounts to maintain optimal body condition and consulting your veterinarian is always recommended.

Q4: How should I transition my dog to this food?

Ans: Begin by mixing 25% of this food with your dog's current food. Gradually increase the proportion of this food over 14 days while decreasing the old food. A slow transition minimizes the risk of digestive upset during the changeover period.

Q5: Is this food formulated by veterinarians?

Ans: Yes. Blue Buffalo True Solutions is formulated by a team of veterinarians and PhD animal nutritionists. Each True Solutions formula uses ingredients clinically proven to address specific health concerns, including digestive health, weight control, and skin and coat care.

Q6: Does this food contain any corn, wheat, or soy?

Ans: No. This food is completely free of corn, wheat, soy, chicken or poultry by-product meals, artificial flavors, and artificial preservatives. It is also wheat-free, which is notable as many wet dog foods use wheat as a thickener.

Q7: Can this food be used alongside the dry Blissful Belly formula?

Q10: Does this formula support skin and coat health as well?

Ans: Yes. Flaxseed in the recipe is a rich source of essential omega-3 fatty acids that not only aid in digestion but also support healthy skin and coat. Whitefish further contributes omega-3 fatty acids that promote overall coat condition and skin health.
