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)
Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed.

I've only been feeding it to my miniature Schnauzer for a short while, so I don't know how it will do long-term. She eats it, but acts like she is still hungry. Runs to my little toy dog's bowl to see if there's anything left! (No luck--the little one scarfs it all down....) I wish this formula had more protein and less grain. The food she was eating before I put her on this one had 28% protein, so I wonder if she's getting enough now with just 17%.

our 7 dogs love this food, plus k9 is super fast in shipping. Can't beat their price!

Helps to keep that extra weight off for weight loss or maintaining weight. I used this product to replace Hills Prescription Diet R/D. Premium Food worth the price.
