Instructions
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 5-7day 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 dogs 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.

We respect and value the importance of your veterinarian as the primary professional
in your
dog’s management. Supplements are no substitute for
regular veterinary care. Symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea, sudden change in
behavior, etc. may be signs of a broader issue, so if you have concerns about your
dog’s health, we highly recommend you consult your
veterinarian first. Many veterinarians use our Product Specialists as a resource
in the care of their own animals, and to help them construct optimal supplement
programs for their clients. We welcome calls from your veterinarian, trainer or
farrier.
