Feeding Guide
Always consult your veterinarian before introducing this diet to your dog. Start with these daily feeding guidelines and follow your veterinarian’s suggestions about the number of meals per day and whether the daily recommendation is right for your dog.

REHYDRATION RECOMMENDED
Water helps with digestion, circulation, and other bodily processes like perfusion (movement of fluids through the organ), which helps move the harmful byproducts through the filtration system and out of the body.

Palatibility Suggestions
Consult with your veterinarian before following these suggestions. Every dog and their condition is different, so it is best to learn whether the recommendations and ingredients are right for them.

Chicken Bone Broth
Hydrate your dog’s food with chicken bone broth (no sodium) as a nutritious and enticing way to add moisture and flavor. Bone broth sits well in a dog’s stomach so it is perfect for dogs with decreased appetite.

Raw Goat’s Milk
Adding raw goat’s milk to your dog’s food can not only increase palatability, but also has carotene, a nutrient that fights cancerous cells.

Unseasoned Boiled Chicken
Put a sprinkle of plain shredded chicken in with their food and mix throughout. The meat is easily digestible and the added aroma is a palatability enticer.
