| Feeding Transitions & Veterinary Guidance: Because this is a prescribed veterinary diet, we encourage you to speak with your vet so your dog's unique health needs and medical history are considered prior to any transition. Ingredient changes are minor, but for any dietary adjustment, we recommend transitioning gradually over a minimum of 7 days to help support your pet's digestion. | ||
