Feeding guidance
Daily food intake depends on bodyweight and activity. For a moderately active dog, the published range begins at 200–350 g for dogs weighing 10–20 kg and rises with bodyweight.
Weigh portions with a scale rather than a scoop, because dog foods have different densities. Always provide fresh, clean drinking water.
Transitioning to Nala Health
Transition gradually over seven days to help avoid stomach upset, increasing Nala Health while reducing the previous food.
Subscription guideline
Select “subscribe and save 10%” on the product page, choose a delivery frequency, and complete the purchase. Your ideal interval depends on your dog’s weight, activity and bag size.
