Feeding guide
These instructions are a guideline only. An individual dog's requirements may differ from this guide according to e.g. age, body condition and activity levels. Feed 1–2 meals per day. Initially, feed the recommended daily amounts and then gradually adjust to maintain your dog in a lean condition. When introducing your dog to a new food, make the change gradually over 7–10 days, increasing the proportion of the new food each day. Fresh drinking water should always be available.
