Frequently asked questions

What is inulin doing in this formula?

Inulin is a prebiotic fiber that supports digestive health by feeding beneficial gut bacteria, which pairs with the low fat formulation to support dogs managing gastrointestinal issues.

Is this formula suitable for puppies?

It is labeled for all life stages, but any dog on a low fat digestive diet should be on that plan with veterinary guidance rather than choosing it based on the life stage label alone.

Why choose a low fat formula specifically?

Some digestive conditions respond better to reduced dietary fat, which can be easier on the pancreas and digestive system. Your vet can confirm if a low fat formula like this fits your dog's situation.
