FAQs

Is Applaws Adult Chicken Small Medium Breed suitable for puppies?

No, this formula is designed for adult dogs. Applaws offers separate puppy food formulas tailored for their specific nutritional needs.

Can I mix this food with other brands?

While it's best to feed a consistent diet, you can mix it with other Applaws products. If mixing with other brands, ensure a slow transition to avoid digestive upset and monitor your dog's reaction.

How much should I feed my dog daily?

Feeding guidelines are provided on the product packaging. These are general recommendations and should be adjusted based on your dog's individual age, activity level, metabolism, and body condition.

What is the protein source in this food?

The primary protein source is chicken, making up 80% of the animal protein content.

Is this food good for dogs with sensitive stomachs?

Yes, the grain-free formula and addition of prebiotics and probiotics can be beneficial for dogs with sensitive stomachs, but it's always best to introduce new foods gradually and consult with a veterinarian.

Does this food contain artificial preservatives or colors?

No, Applaws is committed to using natural ingredients and is free from artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives.

How long does the food stay fresh after opening?

To maintain optimal freshness, store the opened bag in a cool, dry place, sealed tightly. It is recommended to use the food within 4-6 weeks of opening for best quality.

Troubleshooting

Dog refusing to eat the new food

Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. Try mixing it with a small amount of low-sodium chicken broth or a small portion of wet food (if compatible) to enhance palatability.

Digestive upset (loose stools, gas) after switching

Slow down the transition process further, extending it to 14 days. Ensure you are not feeding too much during the transition phase. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.

Dog seems less energetic

Ensure the dog is receiving the correct daily portion size for their activity level. Rule out other health issues by consulting your veterinarian.

Coat appears dull or dry

While the food contains salmon oil, it may take several weeks to see a significant improvement. Ensure consistent feeding and rule out underlying health or environmental factors. Consult your vet if concerned.

Kibble size seems too large/small

This formula is specifically designed for small to medium breeds. If your dog struggles significantly, consider consulting your veterinarian for alternative food options or dietary advice.
