Daily Feeding Guide   Return to Top

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 pets 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.
