We advise feeding your pet twice a day by dividing the suggested feeding guides in two proportions for two meals, spaced 8-12 hours apart. Consider that puppies and kittens require up to twice the energy of full-grown pets, and that overweight and senior pets often need smaller meals – just like people! Also keep in mind that you may need to adjust portions based on your pet’s ideal daily “maintenance” amount. These amounts may change over time as your pet ages. Always keep in mind that a lean dog or cat is a healthy pet.Protein Amount: This diet is 26% protein; enough for adult dogs as long as it can be digested well. Oral Care: All BETA products are made with dual kibble shapes and most products – except for the puppy and senior range – also have dual kibble sizes. The two different shapes have been specifically designed to encourage the dog to chew the food (leading to better digestion), and also rub against the teeth to help clean the teeth and gums. Purina has proven that the pentagon kibble reduces tartar by 21% after 28 days.*** As puppies and seniors need more aid to chew the food, they have a smaller kibble size. Nonetheless, the products still have dual shapes as, no matter the age of your dog, he can still benefit from good oral care.
