Feeding Instructions: Using the chart, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use this information as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed. Dry and wet food in combination will help to increase the level of water in your dog’s diet. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1⁄4 cup for every 3 oz of wet food. Provide adequate fresh water in a clean bowl daily.Transitioning: Gradually mix in the new food over 7 – 10 days, increasing the amount of Merrick Dog Food each day. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.For your pet’s health, see your veterinarian regularly.
