Feeding Guide
When to feed CORE
Perfect for everyday feeding,
mixing with raw, supplementing raw or replacing raw while traveling.
Who Should Eat CORE
The nutrient levels of this
food are appropriate for adult dogs over 1 year. We do not recommend feeding
this formula to puppies as they have special nutritional requirements during
their growth stage. Please try our Wellness Puppy Food to meet these unique
needs.
How to Feed CORE
- CORE is highly palatable, so your dog may tend to eat more of this food.
- Watch initially to see if you need to adjust regular eating patterns.
- Please give your dog access to clean, cool fresh water at all times.
- It is important to slowly transition your dog from his/her current diet as
it takes awhile 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 CORE each day, so that you are feeding 100%
new food by day 7.
- Based on a standard 8 oz. dry measuring cup
- Optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level.
- Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only.
- If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount fed by ? cup, for every 6.0
oz. of wet food.
