# A Very Important Warning About the Dog’s Food!
## Danger! Poison! No eat!
### To all humans who may feed the dog, and especially to the dog itself:
Our beloved companion is on a special diet. It is **CRITICAL** that the dog eats **ONLY** the prescribed food. Eating anything else, even a tiny crumb, can lead to severe health problems, extreme discomfort, and potentially a very sad trip to the emergency vet.
**DO NOT** feed the dog:
* **Human food:** No scraps, no treats, no “just a little bit.” Even healthy human foods can be toxic or cause digestive upset.
* **Other pet food:** No cat food, no other dog food, no treats meant for other animals.
* **Anything found on the floor:** If the dog picks something up, immediately intervene and remove it.
**THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE FOOD FOR THE DOG IS [Specific Food Name, e.g., “Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein”]!**
This food has been carefully selected by the veterinarian to address the dog’s specific health needs.
**Symptoms to watch for if the dog eats something it shouldn’t:**
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Lethargy
* Loss of appetite
* Increased thirst
* Panting
* Restlessness
If you witness the dog eating unauthorized food, or if you observe any of these symptoms, please contact [Your Name/Primary Caregiver’s Name] IMMEDIATELY at [Your Phone Number] and be prepared to call the vet.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping our furry family member healthy and safe!
