Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is this formula suitable for all adult dogs?

Ans: Feeding amounts depend on your dog's weight, ranging from about 1/2 cup for dogs around 3 to 12 lbs up to 4-2/3 cups or more for dogs over 100 lbs daily. These amounts are a starting point for an average, active adult dog fed once daily.

Q7: How long should the switch to this new food take?
