Transitioning to Wellness: It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5-7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness by day 7.
Determining Feeding Portions: Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Wellness believes in feeding dry and wet food in combination whenever possible to help increase the level of water in your dog's diet.
Nutrition is only one part of the equation! Be sure to give your dog plenty of love, plenty of exercise and see your veterinarian regularly to help ensure total wellness.
Recommended Feeding Portions (Based on a standard 8 oz dry measuring cup)

I love the fact that this is an all natural food. Hally's not so sure about the flavor, but she will eat it. She likes some of the others better, but since this was new flavor, I think it's just a matter of getting used to it.

My German Shepherd didn't care for it so much; however, my Yorkie like it.

Both my dogs like this canned food, but it is kind of a pain to get out of the can. I think the quality is good, and my pets do seem to enjoy it.
