Additional Information

Precautions

• Supplemental Use Only: This topper is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only and must be served alongside a complete and balanced diet.
• Not a Complete Meal: Do not replace your dog's regular complete and balanced food entirely with this topper; it is designed to complement an existing diet.
• Adjust for Caloric Intake: Always account for the additional calories this topper contributes and reduce your dog's main meal portion accordingly to maintain a healthy weight.
• Consult Your Vet: Dogs with known chicken allergies, sensitivities, or specific health conditions should only use this product under veterinary guidance.
• Handle with Hygiene: As with all raw pet food products, wash hands, bowls, and surfaces thoroughly before and after each serving.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Adjustment: Some dogs may experience mild loose stools or stomach upset during the first few days of introducing a raw topper into their regular diet.
• Increased Thirst: Dogs new to freeze-dried raw foods may show a temporary change in water intake as they adjust to the higher protein density.
• Food Sensitivity Reaction: Dogs sensitive to chicken or poultry-based ingredients may experience skin irritation, itching, or digestive discomfort; discontinue use and consult a veterinarian if symptoms arise.
• Temporary Stool Changes: Stools may become firmer or smaller in volume as raw nutrition is introduced, which is a common and typically normal adjustment.
• Appetite Increase: Some dogs may show noticeably increased enthusiasm at mealtime once a raw topper is introduced, which may require closer monitoring of overall daily caloric intake.
