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
Standard measuring cup holds approximately 3.4 oz (96g) of Wellness Healthy Balance Puppy Chicken Meal, Pork Meal & Oatmeal Recipe Dog Food.

Combination Feeding: If feeding Wellness wet food, reduce dry amount by ⅓ cup (32g) for every 6 oz (170g) of wet food.

For pregnant or nursing dogs: Since DHA is transferred to puppies in mother’s milk, we recommend feeding this during pregnancy and nursing.  When pregnant, feed up to 50% more food according to body weight for 12 mos. For nursing dogs, allow her to eat at will.

Calorie Content (Calculated): This food contains 3,640 kcal/kg or 349 kcal/cup ME (metabolizable energy) on an as fed basis.
