Feeding Guidelines
Daily Feeding Guide
Helpful Tips, These ranges are a starting point only. Your pet may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian. Feeding this food for the first time? Mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period. Keep fresh water available at all times! When using with canned food, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid overfeeding. We recommend that you take your pet to the veterinarian at least twice a year for regular health check-ups.
