Life Stages? Click HERE.
Due to a shortage of potato protein, we have added pea protein to our L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® Sweet Potato & Bison and Sweet Potato & Venison Formulas. Peas, as a part of the legume family, are a unique, high quality protein not commonly found in pet foods; making it an ideal ingredient for dog's with food sensitivities. We have been feeding the new formulas to our own Natural Balance® pets and it has continued to produce the same exceptional results as the current formulas. |

| Note: 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. |
| We
recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals
or any other supplements, except upon the advice
of a veterinarian. The maintenance of proper body
weight is most important for your dogs health.
Consult your veterinarian for specific weight recommendations
for your dog. Remember, fresh clean water should
be available at all times! |
|
The
Adult Adult dogs should be fed either once or twice
per day. When you first start feeding Natural Balance®
L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® Sweet Potato &
Bison Formula, we suggest to start 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 dogs needs.
Pregnant
Females (See Our Feeding
Page for More Details!)
Minimal increase needed during first 6 weeks.
Weeks 7, 8, & 9 increase up to 25%.
Lactating
Females (See Our Feeding
Page for More Details!)
Immediately after whelping, the nutritional demand increases
by 50% compared to maintenance levels. Feed in 3 equal
meals per day.
Working
Dogs Based on the work your dog will be asked to
perform, the nutritional requirements will vary accordingly.
As the work load increases, the demand for protein and
fat increases proportionally. Dogs in hard training
will generally require twice the maintenance levels.
The
Older Dog 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 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 Natural Balance® Sweet Potato &
Bison Formula 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!
