More tips!

• Check with your vet to rule out other possible causes.
• Undergo an elimination diet to rule out certain ingredients
• Keep to the same diet for around 12 weeks unless we advise otherwise.
• Avoid beef, wheat and dairy – 70+% of food intolerance in dogs.
• Look for novel ingredients- ones your dog hasn’t eaten before.
• Feed sparingly, overfeeding can cause upset tummies.
• Avoid treats, dental chews and table scraps – vegetables are OK.
• Every dog is an individual,  a food may suit one dog but not another.
