🐾 FEEDING GUIDE

Who can eat this

• Formulated as a complete and balanced meal for healthy adult dogs (1 year and older).

• Not for puppies, pregnant/nursing dogs, or dogs with medical conditions unless your vet approves.

How much to feed

• Split into 1–2 meals per day.

• If using Healthy Pup as a topper, reduce their other food so the total calories are still close to the guide.

Transitioning from current food

To protect your dog’s stomach, change slowly over 7 days:

• Day 1–2: 25% Healthy Pup, 75% old food

• Day 3–4: 50% Healthy Pup, 50% old food

• Day 5–6: 75% Healthy Pup, 25% old food

• Day 7+: 100% Healthy Pup

If your dog has a sensitive tummy, take longer and watch for soft stool, vomiting, itchiness, or any change in behavior. If anything worries you, pause and talk to your vet.

❄️ STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

All notes below apply to the Indian Beef meal itself plus the sides (broth, kefir, veggies, fruits) in your Healthy Pup order.

When your order arrives

• Place everything in the fridge immediately.

• If not using within 2 days, move unopened portions to the freezer.

Best-before (for quality + safety)

• Refrigerated (sealed or airtight): up to 1–2 days.

• Frozen: up to 2 weeks for best freshness and texture.

• Do not keep food at room temperature for long. Especially in PH heat.

🌡️ THAWING & SERVING

Thawing from frozen

1. Thaw in the refrigratior overnight (8–12 hours).

2. Keep covered while thawing.

3. Do not thaw on the counter for hours (bacteria grow fast in warm temps).

Before serving

• Serve cold from the fridge or at room temperature.

• If your dog prefers warm food:

  • Place the container in a bowl of warm water for several minutes, or

  • Warm gently in a pan on low heat, then let it cool to room temp.

• Avoid microwaving directly (it can create hot spots and uneven heating).

Leftovers

• Pick up and discard anything left in the bowl after 1 hour (sooner if the weather is very warm).

• Do not re-freeze food that has completely thawed.
