Feeding and Switching Foods
How much to feed: Follow the feeding chart on the bag as a starting point. This is a calorie-dense food (490 kcal per cup), so most dogs need less of it than a typical kibble. Adjust to keep your dog at a healthy weight.
Switching foods: Mix the new food into your dog's current food over 7 to 10 days, adding a little more each day. A slower switch helps avoid an upset stomach, especially for dogs with sensitive digestion.
Water and storage: Always keep fresh water available. Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place.
