These feeding guidelines are suggested only. Feeding amounts may vary by breed, activity level, temperament and climate. Puppies can begin nibbling on moistened Natural Balance Synergy Dry Dog Food before they are weaned. From six weeks to six months, feed three times a day. You may want to add a small amount of Natural Balance Canned Dog Food for ease of feeding. The amount of canned dog food can be gradually decreased as the puppy matures. After six months, it is recommended to feed twice daily. For adult dogs: Up to 10 lb … 1/2 to 1 cup* 10-20 lb … 1 to 1 1/2 cups* 20-30 lb … 1 1/2 to 2 cups* 30-40 lb … 2 to 2 1/2 cups* 40-60 lb … 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups* 60-80 lb … 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 cups* 80-100 lb ... 4 1/4 to 5 cups* * Based on a standard 8 oz measuring cup. The amounts in the table are intended as guidelines only. The food intake should be adjusted according to the age, weight, breed, temperature, climate and activity level of your dog. Consult a veterinarian for specific weight recommendations. Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice per day. When you first start feeding Synergy Dry Dog Food, we suggest starting with the amounts recommended in the table. Energy requirements vary with environmental conditions, temperature and activity of your dog. The amount of food should always be adjusted to suit your dog's needs. For pregnant females: A minimal increase is needed during the first 6 weeks. Increase the amount fed up to 25% during weeks 7, 8, and 9. For lactating females: Immediately after whelping, the nutritional demand increases by 50% compared to maintenance levels. Feed in 3 equal meals per day. For working dogs: Based on the work your dog will be asked to perform, the nutritional requirements will vary accordingly. As the workload increases, the demand for protein and fat increases proportionally. Dogs in hard training will generally require twice the maintenance levels. For older dogs: As your dog begins to age, his energy expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount of food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of proper body weight for a less active dog. FEEDING MANAGEMENT We recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals, or any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian. When switching your dog's diet, the change should be made gradually by replacing the current food with increasing portions of Synergy Dry Dog Food. The change should be completed after 5 to 7 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is most important for your dog's health. Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations for your dog. Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!
