FAQs

How long should I feed my dog this specialized diet?

The duration of feeding depends on your dog's specific condition and veterinary recommendation. Some dogs may require short-term feeding during recovery, while others may need long-term management for chronic issues. Always follow your veterinarian's guidance.

Can I feed this food to a healthy dog?

This is a therapeutic diet designed for dogs with specific gastrointestinal problems. It is not recommended for healthy dogs without digestive issues unless directed by a veterinarian.

What is the role of egg immunoglobulins in this food?

Egg immunoglobulins, derived from egg powder, help to support the digestive tract and the dog's immune system, contributing to overall gut health.

How does psyllium husk benefit my dog?

Psyllium husk is a soluble fiber that helps to regulate gastrointestinal tract activity. It can absorb water to help firm up loose stools or add bulk to help with constipation, and it also helps protect the intestinal lining.

Why are electrolytes increased in this formula?

Increased electrolytes are included to help compensate for nutrient and mineral losses that can occur due to vomiting or diarrhea, aiding in hydration and recovery.

Where can I purchase SPECIFIC (Dechra) CID Digestive Support?

This is a veterinary therapeutic diet and is typically available through veterinary clinics or authorized pet health retailers upon veterinary recommendation.

Does this food help with gas and stool odor?

Yes, the inclusion of Yucca extract is known to help reduce the odor of feces and intestinal gas.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the new food

Ensure a slow transition over 7-10 days. If refusal persists, consult your veterinarian for advice on palatable alternatives or other dietary options.

Symptoms do not improve after a week

Continue feeding as directed but consult your veterinarian immediately. The condition may require different treatment or medication alongside dietary changes.

Dog experiences mild loose stools initially

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This diet should be introduced gradually into your dog's current food over a period of 7-10 days to avoid further digestive upset.

Ensure your dog always has access to fresh, clean water, especially if experiencing or recovering from vomiting or diarrhea.
