Full details
Eukanuba Special Care Weight Control is a premium, nutritionally balanced dry food specifically engineered for large and extra-large breed dogs struggling with weight management or those requiring a lower-calorie diet to stay fit.

FAQs
Can I feed this to my puppy?
No, this formula is specifically balanced for adult dogs and does not contain the specific caloric and nutrient ratios required for growing puppies.
Does this food contain artificial preservatives?
No, Eukanuba Special Care Weight Control contains no artificial colours or flavours.
How does the kibble shape help my dog's teeth?
The unique hexagonal shape of the kibble encourages chewing, which helps mechanically scrub the teeth and reduce tartar accumulation.
Is it safe for a dog with joint issues?
Yes, it is formulated with glucosamine and calcium specifically to support bone and joint health in larger breeds.
How long will a 15kg bag last?
This depends entirely on your dog's weight and feeding guidelines provided on the packaging; consult the back of the bag for specific daily serving recommendations.
What is the primary protein source?
The primary protein source is high-quality chicken.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat new food
Mix in a small amount of warm water or a low-sodium bone broth to enhance the aroma, and ensure the transition period is extended to 10-14 days.
Digestive upset during transition
Slow down the transition rate by increasing the proportion of the previous food for a few extra days until the dog's stomach adjusts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Transitioning to this food should be performed over a 7-day period by gradually mixing increasing amounts of Eukanuba Special Care with the previous diet. Always provide constant access to fresh, clean water, as the higher fiber content (beet pulp) requires hydration for effective digestion. Store the 15kg bag in a cool, dry place and ensure it is sealed tightly between uses to maintain freshness and prevent moisture buildup. For multi-pet households, ensure that other animals do not have access to this formula if they do not require weight management support.
