Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dog receives the maximum benefit, always provide a fresh bowl of clean water alongside the food. Store the 2kg bag in a cool, dry place, ensuring the seal is tight to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation of the essential fatty acids. If you are mixing this with wet food or supplements, consult your veterinarian to ensure you do not exceed the daily caloric requirements for your dog's activity level. For best results, measure portions using a scale rather than a scoop to maintain weight consistency.
