We carefully select ingredients that are safe and healthy for the vast majority of the dog population. But like humans, dogs are individuals and can have certain allergies and adverse reactions to almost any ingredient. We recommend that you introduce any new food or supplement slowly (1/4 to 1/2 dosage for Nuchews) for several days to ensure the health and safety of your dog.
