Adult: The age and activity level of your dog will help you determine the amount of Annamaet Option to feed your dog.
Females: Gestation and lactation are one of the most nutritionally demanding stages of a normal adult dog's life. Food consumption should increase during gestation. Feed the necessary amount to maintain her proper body weight. During lactation, food intake may double or quadruple.
Puppies: Growing puppies should have approximately twice the amount of calories per pound of body weight as an adult dog. They should be fed all the moistened Annamaet Option they want at intervals throughout the day until they are about three months of age. They then can be fed moistened amounts three times daily and twice daily after six months of age.
It is a must that all dogs and puppies should have access to fresh, clean water at all times. Their feed and water containers should be washed daily. Please remember, that dogs are like humans, and different dogs have different appetites. The feeding chart below is approximate measures for average weights. The look, feel, and actions of your dog should help you determine the amount of feed they need.
A standard measuring cup holds 3.75 ounces of Annamaet Option.
| Weight | Daily Feeding (cup) |
|---|---|
| Up to 14 lbs | 1/2 - 1 1/4 |
| 15 - 30 lbs | 1 1/4 - 1 3/4 |
| 31 - 45 lbs | 1 3/4 - 2 1/4 |
| 46 - 60 lbs | 2 1/4 - 3 |
| 61 - 75 lbs | 3 - 3 1/2 |
| 76 - 90 lbs | 3 1/2 - 4 1/4 |
| 91 lbs & over | 4 1/4 - ? |
Gradually transition by adding a small amount of Annamaet, gradually reducing the amount of the current diet and increasing the amount of Annamaet for 7 - 10 days until the transition is complete. For sensitive dogs, we recommend a 10 - 14 day transition.

Refused to eat this
By Lizz on Jun 15, 2021
For 2 days my dog who is a picky eater refused to eat this. I mixed her usual brand of dog food with this new one. Per my dog I would give this one star

Had to switch to new food and my dog loves this
By Marc on Mar 26, 2021
My dog had stopped being interested in food and after a long period of testing, we found she had pancreatitis. Her old food was too fatty and we had to switch to a new food. The trick was that we needed a food that was not chicken since it does not agree with my dog. We also wanted a food with grains as well. This food was perfect. It had the right amount of fat, brown rice for grains, and my dog loved it.

Did not work for my dogs.
By Strongfishsmell on Mar 6, 2021
I have two dogs who always eat whatever lands in their bowls. One of them would eat a dead rat on the street if I let him. Neither one wanted to eat these pellets. I tried feeding them with these for two weeks by leaving food out for 15 minutes at a time twice a day. First food they refused. Pellets have a strong fish smell. Fresh wish does not smell, perhaps I got a bad batch.

Olympic sprint records getting to food!
By Crispy on Jan 2, 2021
I have never seen my dogs like any dog food as much as this one. Literally, they sprint to their food bowls almost knocking me over! They also seem to have more overall energy.

Breeder Recommended
By Foxtrot56 on Aug 14, 2020
I’ve been using this food for over a year now on the recommendation of our breeder. Jasper has no skin issues or allergies. Shiny coat and bright eyes. I feed him less than the instructions on the bag suggest, as he was gaining weight. My vet gave me correct amount to feed. Jasper loves this food!

Refused to even try. Might be more stars, just not for us.
By Northwoods on Jul 18, 2020
This looks like an awesome food. I have a picky dog, who usually at least will try a food. Not so with this one. I mixed some in with his current food and he refused to even nibble at it. After adding wet food, nothing. I had to throw it out and remake his food and remove this. Then he was able to eat again. I really wanted this one to be palatable.

Excellent Dog Food
By Kgeh on Apr 21, 2020
Our beabull pup had issues with watery stool. Tried numerous brands finally realized poor guy has an issue with Chicken. This formula of Annamaet is truly chicken free. It took about a month and loose stool has stopped and grass eating has almost stopped. His gas is considerably better. This food has done wonders for our guy. Highly recommend.
