Ans: Sensitivity Select uses limited poultry proteins (turkey, duck, goose, quail) and eliminates common allergens, making it suitable for many dogs. However, if your dog has allergies to poultry specifically, consult your veterinarian before transitioning to this formula.
Q3: How should I transition my sensitive dog from kibble to Sensitivity Select?
Ans: Follow a gradual 10 to 14 day transition: days 1-3 replace 25% of current kibble, days 4-6 use 50%, days 7-9 use 75%, then day 10 serve 100%. Extend to 14 days for sensitive dogs prone to digestive upset.
Q4: How many calories does one can provide for my dog?

Ans: Turkey bone broth delivers collagen, gelatin, glycine, and amino acids that soothe intestinal lining, support gut barrier function, reduce inflammation, and promote beneficial gut bacteria, making it ideal for dogs with digestive sensitivities.
Q6: Can I mix Sensitivity Select with my dog's current food during transition?
