Feeding Guidelines
Nature's Variety Freeze Dried Diets can be fed as singular meals or be used as a supplement, treat, training aid, or added to other foods as a palatant. Rotate and use in variety with other Nature's Variety freeze dried diets, dry kibble diets, raw frozen diets and canned foods. There are approximately 48 medallions per bag.
When introducing a new diet, always transition over a period of several days in order to avoid digestive disturbances. The following amounts should be decreased in proportion to the amount of supplementation with other Nature's Variety Diets. If Nature's Variety Freeze Dried Diet is fed singularly during any one day, the suggested feeding guide is recommended with adjustments being made for factors such as stress, activity and breed. Puppies can be fed free choice. As the product is mostly meat and has no grain, it will not swell up or absorb much water. It takes about 15 minutes for reconstitution.
7.5 lbs. - 3 medallions per day, add 1/3 cup water if reconstituted
15 lbs. - 6 medallions per day, add 2/3 cup water if reconstituted
30 lbs. - 10 medallions per day, add 1 cup water if reconstituted
45 lbs. - 14 medallions per day, add 1-1/3 cup water if reconstituted
