Recommended Feeding Guide

When changing your pet's diet, gradually mix food over a 5-7 day period, increasing daily the amount of new food added so that 100% of the new food will be provided to the pet by day seven.

Food may be served right from the bag or moisten with warm water, if desired. Remember to always provide plenty of clean, fresh water. It is important to monitor your puppy's growth and to visit your veterinarian regularly.

This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, temperament, activity level and environment.

This combination of pure lamb and rice provides one of the most digestible diets available for your sensitive dog.
