Fresh water should be available at all times. Using the feeding table to help your dog maintain an ideal body condition. Monitor your dogs weight on a regular basis, making sure that their ribs are easily felt and their waist is visible when viewed from above. Maintaining an ideal body condition can impact your dogs lifelong health.
By choosing to feed your dog Pro Plan you can be reassured that our tailored nutrition will have a positive impact on your dogs long-term health and well-being. Although you will be keen to see the difference Pro Plan can make in your dog, please allow 7 to 10 days to transition them from their current food. This enables your dogs digestive enzymes to gradually adapt to the change in ingredient and nutritional content, assisting with the proper digestion of the food and helping prevent stomach upsets. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more of Pro Plan until you are feeding Pro Plan exclusively.
Please store this pack in a cool, dry place, out of the sun.
