Directions for Use

• Adjust for Body Weight: Daily feeding amounts should be adjusted as needed to help the dog maintain an optimal body weight, and a veterinarian should be consulted when the correct portion size is unclear.
• Transition Over 7 Days: When introducing this stew, slowly increase the new food while reducing the old over 7 days to ease the changeover and avoid stomach upset.
• Fresh Water Always: Clean, fresh drinking water should be accessible to the dog at all times throughout the day, alongside every meal to support adequate daily hydration.
• Refrigerate After Opening: Cover and refrigerate any unused portion from an opened can straight away to keep it safe and fresh before the next serving.
• Review Needs with Age: A dog's nutritional requirements can shift as it ages, making it worthwhile to discuss the feeding plan with a veterinarian at every routine check-up.
• Keep Packaging Away: All cans and packaging materials should be stored out of the reach of both pets and children at all times to prevent potential suffocation hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does this tender turkey stew help dogs with sensitive stomachs?

Ans: This stew is made with easy to digest ingredients that are gentle on the stomach and help the body absorb nutrients well. It also supports firmer, more consistent stools, making it a solid everyday wet food choice for adult dogs prone to digestive discomfort or loose stools after meals.

Q2: What is the calorie content of this sensitive stomach turkey stew per can?

Ans: Each 12.5 oz can of this turkey and rice stew contains 253 kcal. This lower calorie density per can compared to some other formats makes it easier to serve appropriate portions across a wide range of dog sizes. For example, a 30 lb adult dog requires approximately 3 1/4 cans per day for adult maintenance.

Q3: How does this turkey stew wet food differ from the chicken and vegetable entrée in the same range?

Ans: The key differences lie in the protein source and flavor profile. This formula uses turkey as its primary protein in a rice-based slow-cooked stew, while the chicken and vegetable entrée uses chicken with a vegetable blend. This turkey stew also delivers notably higher vitamin C at 263 ppm and vitamin E at 960 IU/kg compared to the chicken variety.

Q4: Can I mix this sensitive stomach dog stew with Hill's dry kibble?

Ans: Yes, this stew can be paired with Hill's Science Diet dry kibble to add moisture, texture, and flavor to mealtime. Just adjust the portions of each to keep the total daily calorie intake on track for your dog's body weight and condition.

Q5: Is this tender turkey stew suitable for senior or mature adult dogs?

Ans: Yes, this formula is appropriate for adult dogs across all adult life stages, including mature and senior dogs. As dogs age, nutritional needs may shift, so reviewing the feeding plan with a veterinarian at each routine check-up is recommended to confirm that this stew continues to meet the individual dog's needs as it gets older.

Q6: Does this turkey and rice stew contain any grains?

Ans: Yes, this formula contains rice and rice starch as carbohydrate sources and is not grain-free. Pet owners whose dogs require a grain-free wet food option should consider Hill's Science Diet Adult Sensitive Stomach & Skin Chicken & Vegetable Entrée or Salmon & Vegetable Entrée, which use grain-free carbohydrate sources instead.

Q7: How should I store opened and unopened cans of this sensitive stomach turkey dog food?

Ans: After opening, cover any remaining food and refrigerate it immediately to maintain freshness and food safety until the next serving. Store the cans in a dry, cool place and protected from heat and excess moisture to preserve the nutritional quality.
