What to review first

What this page helps you review

Check the current food against calorie density, body condition, stool consistency before changing brands.
Use current stool pattern and symptom severity to decide whether the food is close or clearly off.
Compare better-fit options only after the current formula has been reviewed.

before you switch

Review the current bag first,
then compare alternatives.
