(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 above as an initial recommendation only and adjust as needed. Looking at the chart above, divide the total cups per day by the total 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 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.
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.
For Puppies: Feed 25% more than the amounts listed above.

For Dogs over 125 lbs.: Add 1/4 cup per additional 10 lbs.
