FAQs

Can I feed this to my healthy dog?

No. This is a dietetic food designed specifically for dogs with renal or cardiac disorders and contains specific nutrient levels that may not be appropriate for healthy dogs.

Do I need a prescription for this food?

While regulations vary, it is strongly recommended that you consult with your veterinarian before starting this diet to ensure it meets your dog's specific medical needs.

Why is the protein source eggs?

Eggs provide high biological value protein that is easily digested, which helps reduce the waste products the kidneys need to filter from the blood.

How long should I keep my dog on this diet?

The duration of use should be determined by your veterinarian based on the clinical diagnosis and your dog's response to the food.

Is fresh water really that important?

Yes. Proper hydration is critical for kidney function, especially when managing renal insufficiency.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the new food

Ensure a slow transition over one week and try warming the food slightly or adding a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma.

Digestive upset during transition

Slow down the transition process by extending the mixing period over 10 days instead of 7.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When starting your dog on Calibra Veterinary Diets Renal and Cardiac, transition slowly over 5 to 7 days by mixing it with their current food, gradually increasing the ratio of the new diet. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and ensure it is tightly sealed after each use to maintain the freshness of the Omega-3 oils. Always consult your veterinarian regarding the duration of use; while some dogs may require this diet for a few months, others may need it for life. Regular check-ups are essential to adjust feeding quantities based on your dog's weight and the progression of their clinical status.
