INFORMATION |
| MODERATE PROTEIN LEVELS: We use a unique combination of proteins combined with the novel source of garbanzo beans to provide a balanced diet for your dog’s overall well-being.
COMPLETELY GRAIN FREE: Grain-free carbohydrate sources, like sweet potatoes, provide the energy your dog needs to thrive in their natural form.
HEALTHY DIGESTION: PREBIOTICS: Prebiotics feed the beneficial bacteria that reside in a healthy digestive tract so that your dog can maintain optimal digestion.
UNIQUE: FRUITS & VEGGIES: In addition to the legume garbanzo beans - an excellent source of fiber and protein - we have also added blueberries, zucchinis and apples to help your dog achieve a harmonious balance that is both healthy and delicious.

|
| The
Adult Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice
per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance®
ALPHA™ Dry Dog Food, 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 adjusted
to suit your dogs needs.
Pregnant
Females (See Our Feeding
Page for More Details!)
Minimal increase needed during first 6 weeks.
Weeks 7, 8, & 9 increase up to 25%.
Lactating
Females (See Our Feeding
Page for More Details!)
Immediately after whelping, the nutritional demand increases
by 50% compared to maintenance levels. Feed in 3 equal
meals per day.
Working
Dogs Based on the work your dog will be asked to
perform, the nutritional requirements will vary accordingly.
As the work load increases, the demand for protein and
fat increases proportionally. Dogs in hard training
will generally require twice the maintenance levels. |

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 dogs diet, the change should
be made gradually, by replacing the current food with
increasing portions of Natural Balance®
ALPHA™ Dry Dog Food. The
change should be completed after 5 to 7 days. The maintenance
of proper body weight is most important for your dogs
health. Consult your veterinarian for specific weight
recommendations for your dog. Remember, fresh clean
water should be available at all times! |
