Feeding Guidelines & Hydration Amounts

Our dehydrated foods must be hydrated with warm water, before serving. Each bucket of food will make just over 4 times its weight in fresh food, when hydrated.

Our foods hydrate as follows:

Weight

4 oz

Dry Measured Cups

Holds about 1 cup

Yield when hydrated

Makes about 1 lb of fresh food

4 lbs Holds about 16 to 17 cups Makes about 16 to 17 lbs of fresh food.
10 lbs Holds about 40 to 43 cups Makes about 40 to 43 lbs of fresh food

Feeding Guidelines (all foods)

The following daily amounts (DRY quantity) should be adjusted to suit your individual dog's requirements, which vary according to age, breed and level of daily activity.

Up to 10 lbs....................................1/2 Cup

Up to 30 lbs.................................... 1 Cup

Up to 50 lbs.................................... 2 Cups

Up to 70 lbs.................................... 2 1/4 Cups

Up to 90 lbs.................................... 2 3/4 Cups

A full standard US Measuring Cup of dehydrated food (which is 8 oz by volume or 4 oz by weight) will hydrate to make about 1lb of fresh food.

Half to one cup of extra meat or other ingredients may be mixed in with each cup of food, once hydrated. Please contact us if you would like guidance in deciding what to add, we are happy to help.
