Using the chart, 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
this information 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.
Transitioning: Gradually mix in the new food over 7 - 10 days, increasing the amount of Merrick Lil’ Plates
Grain Free Real Chicken + Sweet Potato Recipe with Raw Bites each day. This gradual transition will
help avoid dietary upsets.
For your pet’s health, see your veterinarian regularly.
