Dog refuses to eat the new food
Try warming the food slightly with warm water to release aromas or mix in a small amount of warm water to create a soft consistency.
Stool consistency does not improve
Consult your veterinarian to rule out other medical issues or parasites, and ensure no 'human food' or treats are being fed during the trial period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Consult Your Vet: Always begin this diet after a confirmed diagnosis from your veterinarian to ensure it is the correct choice for your dog's specific issue.
Transitioning: Mix increasing amounts of Specific CID with your dog’s previous food over one week.
Feeding Frequency: Smaller, more frequent meals are often better for dogs with digestive sensitivities than one large meal.
Storage: Keep the 12kg bag in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is sealed properly after every use to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation.
Fresh Water: Always provide clean, fresh drinking water, as proper hydration is essential for digestion and recovery.
