Wellness made Smaller

As you already know, Cayman and Zoey are on Wellness brand dog food. Since they were running low, I had to go to Petco to get some more but all they had besides weight control and large breed was the new Small Breed formula. Since Cayman is a mini dachshund and Zoey a toy poodle, they are definitely small breeds so this was perfect! And they definitely seem to prefer it to the other Wellness formula they were on since the the kibbles are smaller. So I think that's what I will start picking up from now one, especially since we have moved my parent's mix breed dog, Roxy, to her own bag of weight control since she is getting way too tubby.

Feeding Information 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. Combination Feeding If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/8 cup for every 2 tbsp of wet food. 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.
