Directions
Using the chart on the back of the package, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed. Dry and wet food in combination will help to increase the level of water in your dog's diet. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/4 cup for every 3 oz. of wet food. Sizes & Amounts-> 2 lbs-> 1/3 cup, 5 lbs-> 2/3 cup, 10 lbs-> 1 cup, 15 lbs-> 1 1/4 cups, 20 lbs-> 1 1/2 cups, 25 lbs-> 1 3/4 cups, 30 lbs-> 2 cups. For dogs over 30 lbs: add 1/4 cup per additional 5 lbs.

PRO: I like the small pieces which are easy for Bill to swallow.
I like the self sealing closure of the bag
I like that it has some good ingredients and the pieces are much smaller than the Acana brand
Con: None yet except for negligence of seller in giving me a bag with a rip
Note: I will have to feed it to him longer to find out how his skin reacts to it. He is hypersensitive to a lot of dog foods. I had him on Fromm Salmon for about three years but he kept breaking out and had a horrible body odor so I switched him to Acana brand. He did pretty good on Acana for about a year, more or less, then started breaking out again and the same body odor. I will do a follow up on how he reacts to this food.
Bill's story: My vet started him out on Science diet prescription for sensitive skin when he was about 6 to 7 months old.He was on it for about two years, more or less, before the doctor realized Bill was allergic to it too. Bill had to go about every three months for steroid regimen to keep the break outs at bay. This went on from the time he was a puppy until the doctor took him off of Science diet at about age 3. Then he had a super reaction to a lepto combo shot and nearly died. I haven't taken Bill back to the vet in five years. The Fromm diet worked well for three years until Bill suddenly started breaking out again and once again had that horrible smell. Fromm could have changed their formula I don't know. Through reviews I found Acana brand and kept him on that for about a year maybe a bit more. At first he cleared up then the breakouts started again and so did the odor. Keeping my fingers crossed that Merrick will help Bill to clear up.
