FAQs

What specific conditions is this food designed for?

This food is designed for dogs with acute or chronic gastrointestinal problems, including diarrhea, vomiting, flatulence, Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), malabsorption, maldigestion, and Colitis.

Can I feed this food to my dog long-term?

This is a therapeutic diet and should be fed under the guidance of your veterinarian. They will determine the appropriate duration based on your dog's specific condition and response to the diet.

How quickly should I see results?

Improvements can vary depending on the severity and cause of the gastrointestinal issue. Many dogs show stabilization of symptoms within a few days to a week of consistent feeding, but it's essential to follow your vet's advice.

Is this food suitable for puppies?

Consult your veterinarian. While it supports digestive health, specific feeding guidelines for puppies with GI issues should be provided by a vet.

What is the purpose of the egg powder?

The added egg powder contains egg immunoglobulins which help to support the digestive tract and the dog's immune system.

How does Psyllium Husk benefit my dog?

Psyllium Husk helps to regulate activity within the gastrointestinal tract and provides a protective layer for the intestinal mucosa, aiding in stool consistency and gut health.

Where can I buy this food?

SPECIFIC (Dechra) veterinary diets are typically available through veterinary clinics or authorized online pet pharmacies. You will likely need a prescription from your veterinarian.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the food.

Ensure a slow transition from their previous food. If refusal persists, consult your veterinarian. Sometimes warming the food slightly or adding a small amount of warm water can increase palatability.

Symptoms do not improve after several days on the diet.

This food is intended to manage symptoms, not necessarily cure the underlying cause. Consult your veterinarian to re-evaluate the diagnosis and treatment plan.

Dog experiences increased gas or loose stools after starting the food.

This can sometimes occur during the transition phase. Ensure the transition is very gradual (over 10+ days). If problems persist, consult your veterinarian, as the food may not be suitable for your dog's specific condition.

Consult your veterinarian for the appropriate daily feeding amount based on your dog's age, weight, and condition.
