Your Dog is Unique!
Just like humans every dog is different when it comes to their dietary needs, this means your pets feeding requirements will vary depending on their breed, environment, age and activity. The below table and the information on the bag is to be used as a starting point, it is important to monitor your dogs weight and adjust their rations as needed.
As it takes time for your dogs digestive system to adapt to the different nutrient levels in a new food it is important to transition your dog correctly from one food to the next to reduce the chance of your pet having an upset stomach. We suggest you take 7 days to transition your dog from the old food to the new food. Start with the majority of the old food and a small amount of the new food on day one and slowly increase the proportion of the new food while decreasing the old food until you are feeding 100% of the new food on day 7.
It is recommended to divide the daily intake into 2 meals

Comments
My map mini schnauzer (on the larger size) has a tendency to put on weight if I use dried food with too much protein in it - hence the change to the light dog food. He loves it and it keeps his weight plan manageable
Bottom Line
Yes, I'd recommend this product to a friend
