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.

Kibble size changed!
By AnnPWC on Feb 3, 2019
So I am not sure what is going on with this product. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed the new formula and new bag on Chewy. My bag’s ingredients were not changed. When I called the company, they said they had changed the formula due to sourcing issues. But they were using up the stock of old bags. Really? So I let that go but I just opened a bag tonight with the original look/ingredients and the kibble is huge! At least 2 to 3 times larger than the previous bag. Not sure what’s going on but I will be calling tomorrow. I really liked this product and my dogs were doing so well. Not sure what to think now.

Kibble size changed
By TerriC on Feb 10, 2019
I just opened a new bag of this food, only to find that the kibble size is now much bigger. It's way too big for my small Pomeranian now. I am so upset about this, I'm sure a lot of you know how hard it is to find quality dog food in a tiny size kibble. I now have a totally useless opened bag of dog food too. I just don't understand why they needed to do this, the formula was just perfect for my dog, and he loved this food.

Something changed!
By Melissa on Feb 5, 2019
I chose this not only for its formula but also kibble size. The size has gone from a smaller kibble to a huge one my boston terriers have great trouble eating. Is this a permanent change? What else has changed?!

Annamaet is one best foods I’ve Used. The kibble is great for Toy breeds and large. Love it and Chewy! We have Chihuahuas and Dobermans

Perfect for our border collie who has grain & chicken allergies
By fairiemer on Nov 1, 2018
Annamaet Option 24% Protein (Salmon/Venison) was recommended for our border collie who was showing signs of grain & chicken allergies. He has been on this dog food for years now with positive results. The non-stop scratching was history after a few weeks of starting this food. Our other dog, who does not have allergy issues, enjoys the benefits as well.

Very pleased with this food!
By Glenscot on Apr 21, 2018
After switching to Annamaet from Acana, my dogs are doing much better! Since Acana changed recipes with the opening of their American based plant, it just hasn't been the same and it showed with my dogs. After hours and hours of researching different brands and foods, we tried Annamaet and haven't looked back! Since one of my dogs is allergic to chicken and another seems to have some sensitivity to it, Annamaet Option has been fantastic for them and they LOVE it! My 3rd dog has no problem with chicken but is a picky eater and requires a more calorie dense food, Annamaet serves that up, too! All three dogs love their foods and seem much healthier for it.
