Feeding Guide

How to adjust feeding amounts to maintain optimal weight.

Provide specific feeding instructions for your patient.

Daily Feeding Recommendations are only a guide and a place to start.

Grams are the most accurate form of measurement; cups are estimated from grams.

Monitoring your patient's condition will assure the nutritional recommendation provides the best results.

Gradually transition to this new food for 7 days or more. Some dogs may need longer than 7 days to transition to a new food. Be patient and consistent.

Reinforce with clients to feed Prescription Diet dry food, canned food, & treats exclusively.

Avoid transitioning to the new food during periods of illness or hospitalization. A food aversion may develop, causing decreased acceptance of the food when the dog is feeling better.
