Feeding Guidlines:
Feeding requirements will vary with breed, environment, age and activity level. Grain-free foods are nutrient dense, so you may need to reduce the amount of feed as compared to your pet's current diet. Monitor your dog's weight and adjust their feed as needed. Feeding twice daily is recommended (splitting the total daily amount below in half at each feeding), and always have fresh, clean water available. When switching diets, it is recommended to transition over a 5-7 day period, increasing the ratio of the new food each day versus the present diet to avoid digestive disturbances.

Amount of food consumed will vary based on activity level, age, breed, and environment. Standard 8 oz. (250cc) measuring cup holds approximately 3.8oz (109g) of NutriSource® Adult Small Bites Chicken & Rice Recipe. At 5-7 months and again at about 12 months, your puppy will automatically reduce the amount consumed. This is due to a natural reduction in growth rate and the reduced need for calories. Consult your veterinarian if you believe your dog is too thin or overweight. Remember it is important to have clean, fresh water available for your dog at all times.
NutriSource® Small Bites Adult Chicken & Rice Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult).
