FAQs

Does this food help with seasonal allergies?

Yes, it is formulated specifically to support dogs suffering from dermatosis and skin conditions caused by environmental allergens.

Can this be fed to puppies?

This diet is typically formulated for adult dogs. Please check the label or consult your veterinarian regarding growth-stage compatibility.

Why is the sodium level reduced?

Lower sodium levels help manage blood pressure and reduce the risk of water retention, supporting both heart and kidney function.

How long should my dog stay on this diet?

Duration should be determined by your veterinarian based on the clinical response of your dog's skin condition.

Is it safe for dogs with kidney issues?

The formula includes supportive nutrients for kidney health, but it should only be used under the direction of a vet if your dog has a pre-existing renal condition.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the new food

Try warming a small amount of water and mixing it with the kibble to enhance the aroma, or consult your vet for a more gradual transition plan.

Digestive upset during transition

Slow down the transition process by keeping the ratio of new to old food lower for a longer period of time.

  • Provides multi-system benefits including heart and kidney support
  • Contains specific nutrients like arginine and beta-glucans to aid immune health
  • Packaging preservation technology ensures ingredient integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Transitioning: Always introduce the diet gradually. Start by mixing 25% of the new food with 75% of the old food, increasing the proportion over a week.
  • Storage: Keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Because it is packed under nitrogen, once opened, try to use the contents within a reasonable timeframe to maintain freshness.
  • Feeding Schedule: Consult your veterinarian to determine the precise daily portion based on your dog's current weight, activity level, and health status.
  • Fresh Water: Ensure your dog always has access to fresh, clean drinking water, especially when feeding a dry kibble diet.
