Feeding The Correct Amount
It is important to remember however that these figures are guidelines only, and there are several factors to be taken into account when assessing your pet’s nutritional requirements : -
- Activity level
- Temperament (stressed animals burn off more calories than relaxed ones)
- Metabolism (every animal is an individual with his or her own speed of metabolism; this means that 2 dogs of the same age, breed and weight could have different daily calorie requirements)
In order to provide the correct portions when feeding your dog or cat, it is also helpful to assess your pet’s appetite, visual appearance and stools. Whilst poo watching does not sound particularly pleasant, it is one of the best indicators of health. Increased frequency of passing faeces, production of large quantities of stools of loose motions are often frequent signs that an animal is receiving more food than he or she requires.
It is important to obtain an accurate weight for your cat or dog, and also to weigh out the food. Guessing on both accounts gives a large margin of error.
Changing Food Brands
For a successful diet change, we recommend following the feeding pattern below. The daily feeding amount should be split into two equal amounts and the proportions of new food increased over the first week as illustrated.
TOP TIPS: For those dogs who do not make eating a priority, here are some additional points:
- Reduce the number of tit-bits given during the introductory period
- If your dog has been used to eating wet food, moisten with warm water.
| DAY 1-2 | 75% Original Diet |
|---|---|
| 25% New Food | |
| DAY 3-4 | 50% Original Diet |
| 50% New Food | |
| DAY 5-6 | 25% Original Diet |
| 75% New Food | |
| DAY 7 | 100% New Food |

Great for senior dogsHave raised my dog on James Wellbeloved and now use the 'senior' formula. She loves it! I believe it helps to maintain a good digestion, a healthy coat, healthy joints, energy and stable, appropriate weight. Before James Wellbeloved she had a sensitive constitution.

Great for the older dogI have given my dogs James Well beloved all their life. We have had virtually no upset stomachs and have maintained excellent health. I have just started purchasing senior dog food for our nearly 10 year old labradoodle who is in excellent shape but worth giving the specific feed. It is Quite an expensive feed but personally I think it is worth it. Both our dogs have kept in good health eating this brand.
