Disclaimer: This dosage information is provided by the manufacturer. Always consult your veterinarian before administering or adjusting any supplement for your pet.

Directions for Use

Adjust for Body Condition: Daily portions should be fine-tuned as needed to help the dog maintain an ideal body weight, and a vet should be consulted if the correct amount is unclear.

Transition Over 7 Days: Gradually mix more of this new food with less of the old each day over a full 7-day period to keep the switch easy on digestion.

Fresh Water Always: Keep fresh drinking water accessible at all times throughout the day alongside every meal to support adequate daily hydration.

Review Needs as Dog Ages: A dog’s nutritional requirements can change over time, so discussing the feeding plan with a vet at each routine check-up helps keep it current and appropriate.

Keep Packaging Away: Store all bags and packaging materials safely away from both pets and children at all times to prevent any potential suffocation hazards.

Additional Information

Precautions

For Adult Dogs Ages 1 to 6 Only: This formula is made for adult small and mini breed dogs aged 1 to 6 years that weigh up to 25 pounds fully grown. It is not suited for other life stages.

Not for Puppies or Mature Adults: Puppies and dogs over 6 years old should not be fed this formula. For pregnant or nursing dogs, Hill’s Science Diet Puppy Small Paws dog food is the recommended choice.

Factor In All Food Sources: Treats and any other supplemental foods given alongside this kibble should be counted toward the dog’s total daily calorie intake to avoid overfeeding.

Feeding Chart is a Starting Point: The daily amounts in the feeding guide are reference points and should be adjusted based on the individual dog’s body condition and veterinary guidance over time.

Possible Side Effects

Digestive Sensitivity on Transition: Abruptly switching to a new food may cause temporary digestive discomfort in some dogs, making the full 7-day gradual transition especially important for small breed dogs.

Storage Information

Cool and Dry Storage: Keep the bag in a cool, dry place below 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) to preserve the freshness and nutritional quality of the kibble between feedings.

Seal After Each Use: Close the bag firmly after every meal to protect the remaining food from moisture, air, and contamination until the next serving.
