Feeding Guidelines
Good health begins with proper feeding. Earthborn Holistic can help maintain your dog’s health when combined with exercise, veterinary care, and controlling intake of other food and treats. Use this chart as a guide, adjusting as necessary to maintain optimal weight. Portions will vary according to age, breed, temperament and environment. When introducing Earthborn Holistic, mix increasing amounts of Earthborn Holistic with decreasing amounts of the current food over a 7 to 10-day period. During gestation and lactation, feed 2 to 4 times the portions recommended for the weight of your adult dog. Puppies often begin to eat solid foods at 3 to 4 weeks of age. Food can be served dry or with warm water (3 parts food to 1 part water). Offer clean, fresh water at all times. See your veterinarian regularly. Feeding amounts are based on an 8 oz. dry measuring cup.
