Troubleshooting
Dog is refusing to eat the new food
Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. Try warming the food slightly with a little warm water or adding a small amount of dog-safe broth. Ensure the food is stored correctly to maintain freshness.
Digestive upset (loose stools, vomiting) during transition
Slow down the transition process. Revert to a higher percentage of the old food and increase the Wilsons Cold Pressed more slowly. Consult a veterinarian if symptoms persist.
Pellets seem too dry or hard for the dog
Add a small amount of warm water to the food bowl before serving to soften the pellets. This can also enhance the aroma and palatability.
Concerns about portion size
Refer to the feeding guide on the packaging, adjusting for your dog's age, activity level, and body condition. Due to its nutrient density, overfeeding can lead to weight gain.
Food appears different in color or texture
Natural ingredients can vary slightly, leading to minor differences in appearance. This is normal and does not affect the nutritional value. Ensure the packaging is properly sealed to maintain quality.
