Feeding Guide

How to adjust feeding amounts to maintain optimal weight.

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.

Feed to dogs weighing less than 30 lbs (14 kg).

Gradually transition to this new food for 7 days or more.

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