The manufacturer formulates it for adult dog maintenance and gives a feeding guideline of one 10 ounce container per 10 to 12 lb of body weight daily, divided into two or more meals, with one container replacing about two thirds cup of dry kibble when the two are fed together. The label-deck PDF gives a calculated calorie value of 274 kcal per tub.
