Troubleshooting
Dog experiencing loose stools during transition
Slow down the transition process by mixing a higher proportion of the old food and increasing the amount of Applaws over a longer period, such as 10 to 14 days.
Dog gaining excessive weight
Review the feeding guidelines on the package and reduce portion sizes slightly, or ensure the dog is receiving appropriate levels of daily exercise.
Pickiness or refusal to eat
Ensure the kibble is fresh and not stored in a damp area. You may try slightly moistening the kibble with a small amount of warm water to enhance its natural aroma.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Transitioning to Applaws should be handled gradually over a 7-day period, slowly increasing the ratio of Applaws to your dog's previous food to avoid digestive upset. This food is formulated specifically for adult dogs of large breeds; it is not suitable for puppies or small breed dogs with different caloric needs. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and ensure it is sealed tightly after every use to maintain the freshness and potency of the included omega oils. Always provide your dog with constant access to fresh, clean water, as high-protein diets require adequate hydration for optimal digestion.
