How to Use

Recommended Feeding Guide (Standard 8 oz dry measuring cup):

Puppies: Up to double the adult daily amount may be needed during the growth phase. Keep portions in check based on body condition and spread meals across the day as needed.

Reproduction: Litter size determines how much extra food is required, with some dogs needing as much as four times their usual amount. Check body condition regularly and adjust portions to match.

Disclaimer: This feeding information is provided by the manufacturer. Always consult your veterinarian before changing or adjusting your dog's diet.

Directions for Use

• Transition Gradually: Replace 20-25% of your dog's current food with this formula daily, increasing over 5 days until fully switched.
• Sensitive Stomach Dogs: For dogs with digestive sensitivity, extend the transition period to 10-14 days for smoother adaptation to the new diet.
• Feeding Portions: Use the chart above as a guide; always adjust amounts based on your dog's age, size, breed, activity level, and environment.
• Split Daily Meals: Divide the total recommended daily amount into more than one feeding per day to support steady digestion and balanced energy.
• Fresh Water Always: Ensure a clean bowl of fresh water is available at all times, as water is an essential nutrient for dogs.
• Eliminate Treats Temporarily: Remove treats and wet food for the first few days of transition to help your dog adjust more smoothly to the new diet.
• No Supplements Needed: Since this formula is complete and balanced, do not add vitamins, minerals, or other supplements unless advised by a veterinarian.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Consult Your Vet: A quick conversation with your vet before changing your dog's food is worthwhile, particularly for dogs managing allergies or any ongoing health condition.
• Transition Slowly: Switching foods too quickly can unsettle digestion, so work the new formula in gradually over at least five days rather than changing all at once.
• Monitor Stool Consistency: Loose stools that do not firm up after a few days are a sign to ease back on the transition and allow more time to adjust.
• Weight Management: Keep an eye on portions and scale back where necessary, particularly for dogs with a more sedentary routine or those that spend most of their time indoors.

Possible Side Effects

• Initial Stool Changes: During the first week of switching, some dogs may pass softer stools or produce more than usual while the digestive system works through the higher fibre intake.
• Potential Food Sensitivity: Each dog responds differently, so observe your dog carefully after meals and take note of anything that suggests a particular ingredient is not agreeing with them.
• Digestive Adjustment Period: Some temporary changes in digestion are to be expected with a higher fibre diet, and these generally settle as the dog's system gets used to the new food.

Storage Information

• Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep the bag sealed and stored away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight to preserve ingredient freshness and quality.
• Seal Bag After Use: Always reseal the bag tightly after each feeding to maintain ingredient quality and prevent moisture or contamination; the resealable bag helps keep food fresh for up to 6 weeks.
• Keep Away From Pests: Store in a secure container or pantry to prevent exposure to insects or rodents that could compromise the food.
