FEEDING
MANAGEMENT |
| We
recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals or
any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian.
When switching your dog's diet, the change should be
made gradually, by replacing the current food with increasing
portions of Natural Balance® Ultra Premium Reduced
Calorie Formula. The change should be completed after
3 to 5 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is
most important for your dog's health. Consult your veterinarian
for specific weight recommendations for your dog. Remember,
fresh clean water should be available at all times!
The
Adult Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice
per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance®
Reduced Calorie Formula, we suggest to start with the
amounts recommended in the Table. Energy requirements
vary with environmental conditions, temperature and
activity of your dog. The amount of food should always
be adjustable to suit your dogs needs. If you
would like to provide a special treat for your dog,
you can add small amounts of Natural Balance® Canned
Dog Food.
The
Older Dog As your dog begins to age, his energy
expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount of
food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of proper
body weight for less active dog. Older dogs are sometimes
more reluctant to eat hard foods. Adding larger amounts
of Natural Balance® Canned Dog Food or Natural Balance®
Dog Food Rolls will make the most "finicky"
eater enjoy his daily meals. |
