Feeding Guide

Ideal feeding amounts vary by age, weight, and activity level. Use this as an initial recommendation and adjust as needed. Divide the daily amount by the number of feedings. Always provide clean, fresh water. Along with dry food, we recommend feeding raw or wet food to help increase water in your cat’s diet.

How to switch

Gradually transition your cat to any new food.

Transition Guide

Mix gradually over 7–10 days. Soft line: go slower for sensitive pets; ask a vet if tummy upset continues.

• Days 1–3: about 25% new food, 75% current food
• Days 4–6: about 50% new, 50% current
• Days 7–10: about 75% new, 25% current
• Then: 100% new food

Storage

Unopened bags stay fresh up to 18 months (do not exceed the printed expiration). After opening, reseal between feedings; kibble stays fresh about 2 to 3 months. Store in a cool, dry place.
