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 262 kcal per tub, close to the sibling Beef Stew recipe in this line. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
