FAQs

How long should my dog eat this food?

The duration of feeding should be determined by your veterinarian. It is typically fed as part of a management plan for specific health conditions and may be long-term.

Can I feed this to my puppy?

This is a veterinary diet formulated for specific needs. Consult your veterinarian to determine if it is appropriate for your puppy, especially if they have digestive issues. General puppy nutrition requirements may differ.

What is the purpose of the added prebiotic?

The added prebiotic (inulin) helps to nourish beneficial bacteria in your dog's gut, supporting a healthier microbiome balance and improving overall digestive function.

Why is the fat content limited?

The limited fat content, along with MCTs, is designed to make the food easier to digest for dogs with compromised pancreatic function or other conditions that affect fat absorption and metabolism.

How does this food help with urinary health?

The 'St/Ox' formulation means it's designed to help reduce mineral concentrations in the urinary environment, which can aid in managing certain types of urinary crystals and stones.

Where can I buy Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EN Low Fat Small & Mini Dry Dog Food?

This is a veterinary diet and must be purchased through a licensed veterinarian or a veterinary clinic. It is not available in regular pet stores.

Troubleshooting

Dog refusing to eat the new food

Ensure a slow transition. Try warming the food slightly with a little water or mixing in a small amount of a vet-approved topper. Consult your veterinarian if refusal persists.

Initial digestive upset (e.g., soft stools) during transition

Slow down the transition process further. Ensure you are mixing the appropriate ratio of old and new food. If symptoms worsen or persist, contact your veterinarian.

Food is not staying fresh

Ensure the bag is properly sealed after each use. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to air and moisture.
