Your dog is unique and feeding requirements will vary with environment, age, and activity. That’s why we suggest starting with the featured guidelines, and then monitoring weight and adjusting portions as needed. Feed twice daily and remember to always keep fresh, clean water available. Use a standard 8-ounce measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.
