Troubleshooting
Dog experiencing digestive upset (e.g., loose stools) after switching food
Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. Reduce the portion size slightly and reintroduce gradually. Consult a veterinarian if symptoms persist.
Food appears discolored or smells off
This can sometimes happen due to natural variations in ingredients. However, if the smell is strongly foul or the color is significantly abnormal, do not feed the product and contact the retailer or manufacturer.
Dog refusing to eat the raw food
Ensure the food is thawed correctly and served at the appropriate temperature (chilled, not frozen or warm). Try mixing a small amount with a familiar, highly palatable food or topping.
Concerns about bacterial contamination
Adhere strictly to raw food handling guidelines: wash hands and utensils, clean surfaces, store properly, and do not allow the dog to consume food left out for extended periods. This is crucial for both pet and human health.
