Baxters

Dogs may have a sensitive stomach. A rapid change in their diet may cause them to become suddenly ill, which may result in vomiting and / or diarrhoea. Expert vets advise pet owners to gradually introduce new food to a dog’s diet to ensure a smooth and healthy transition, and Baxter’s labelling carries these instructions as well. See relevant Baxter’s packaging for more information.

If a pet owner suspects Baxter's pet food has caused illness to their pet, they can speak to their Veterinarian. Alternatively, Woolworths can provide free online consultation through Vet Assist program, please speak to our Customer Hub agent on how to avail this service.
