Viand Feeding Guidelines

Feeding Viand as a Complete Diet

Because Viand is nutrient-dense and highly digestible, dogs typically require smaller portions than with many conventional dog foods.

The feeding amounts below are general daily guidelines for dogs fed exclusively Viand Lamb and Chicken Formula.

Individual needs may vary based on:

• age
• activity level
• metabolism
• body condition
• environment

Puppies up to approximately 18 months, working dogs, and pregnant or nursing dogs should generally be fed 75–100% more than the standard feeding guidelines shown above.

Viand Pet Canine Growth & Maintenance Formula meets the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages.

Feeding Your Cat

Cats are strict carnivores and meat is essential for their health. Many dry cat foods are predominantly grain with flavor-enhancing agents; Viand, however, doesn’t need flavoring since it’s predominantly meat.

Because cats are creatures of habit, they often resist changed in diet. Viand has no sugar, flavor enhancers, or coloring to persuade finicky cats. It derives its flavor from meat, garlic, and other natural ingredients.

To transition your cat to Viand, gradually reduce the amount fed of the current diet while increasing the Viand. Start by adding 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Viand Feline Formula and increase its amount daily while decreasing the amount of the old food. Do this over 10 days to allow your cat to adjust to a higher level of nutrition.

The total amount you need to feed daily depends on the weight, activity level, and metabolism of the cat. As a rule, a mature 8- to 12-pound cat consumes between 1/4 and 1/3 cups of food daily. A kitten (up to 24 months) and a pregnant cat both eat 75-100% more food than an adult.

Feed your cat once or twice a day. Do not leave food out to permit nibbling.
