How much food should you give your dog?The important thing to realize is that every dog food is different. Depending on the ingredients, some will contain more calories per serving than others. The best advice is to follow the instructions on the label to start. We tell you right there on the label how much food to give your dog based on their weight. From there, make adjustments based on how your dog reacts. If you find that your starts gaining or losing weight, then increase or decrease the amount of food you give them. Finally, keep in mind that your dog’s age plays a role in how much food they need. Adult dogs typically require more food than puppies and seniors.

What’s the best way to switch to a new dog food?Anytime you plan to change your dog’s food, you shouldn’t do it all once. That could lead to GI problems like diarrhoea and upset stomach. Instead, it’s best to gradually transitioning to your dog’s new food. We recommend starting out with about ¼ new food. So if you feed your dog 1 cup, start with ¾ cup of the old food and ¼ cup of the new food. Then slowly increase the new food over the course of a week or so until they are no longer eating any of the old food.

What’s the best way to store dry dog food?As we just mentioned, one of the big benefits of dry food is that it stays good for a long time. But it doesn’t stay good forever. Make sure to check the “Best By” date on your food and plan to use it before that date. And it’s also important to realize that your food will only last that long if it’s stored in a cool, dry place. In general, air and moisture will will make your food go bad faster. So keep your dog food somewhere cool, dry, and dark. Squeeze out the air before you seal it shut to minimize the air inside. Some owners prefer to buy a resealable container. If you want to do that, go ahead. But don’t take the food out of its original container. Instead, put the original container inside the resealable container. This is the best way to store your food.
