Recommended Feeding Guide

When changing your pet's diet, gradually mix food over a 5-7 day period, increasing daily the amount of new food added so that 100% of the new food will be provided to the pet by day seven.

For adult dogs, serve right from the bag or moisten with warm water, if desired. For puppies and nursing females, we recommend Sensible Choice Puppy Formula. Remember to always provide plenty of clean, fresh water. It is important to monitor your dog's weight and to visit your veterinarian regularly.

This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, temperament, activity level and environment.

Does your dog have a sensitive stomach? Even if he doesn't, shouldn't his food be just as gentle. Sensible Choice Chicken Meal & Rice contains only one meat source - CHICKEN, and one grain source - RICE to enhance digestive safety for your dog. This combination of pure chicken and rice provides one of the most digestible diets available for your sensitive dog. Be aware of products that contain less digestible carbohydrate sources and meat by-products which are less expensive.
