Feeding and storage
Check the daily amount in the table on the bag — it depends on your dog's weight and activity. The food is energy-dense, so reduce portions for less active dogs and those prone to weight gain. Switch gradually over 7–10 days — see how to switch your pet to a new food. Keep the big bag closed in a cool, dry place or decant some into a container — more in how to store dry pet food.
