•
To transition your pet to a new formula, mix the new food with existing food in gradually increasing amounts. During the first 2 days, mix 25% new food with 75% old food. For the next 2 days, mix 50% new food with 50% old food and for the next 2 days mix 75% new food with 25% old food. Follow with all new formula the next day. If you know your dog is sensitive to dietary changes, transition over a longer period of time.
•
You should divide the total recommended feeding amount by the number of times you feed your dog per day to get the actual portion size per feeding.

Pricey but well worth it
I was given a bag of this when we adopted our dog and figured based on the price that I would switch to another brand when we ran out. What a mistake. I tried two other brands and while my dog would eventually eat because she was hungry she did not like the other foods. I also noticed that her coat was starting to lose its shine. I switched back and it has been worth it. The dog is happy and she looks so much better.

Great Stuff
I bought this for my Shih Tzu because she never stopped scratching. She has been eating it for about a week now, and maybe scratches once or twice a day. She loves the taste, and it is so nice not to be yelling all the time for her to stop the scratching, It was so bad she had made sores on herself. They are healing and almost gone. It's expensive, but well worth it. It really works.
