Feeding Management

When switching your dog’s diet, the change should be made gradually, by replacing the current food with increasing portions of Natural Balance® L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® Potato & Duck formula. The change should be completed after 5 to 7 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is most important for your dog’s health.
