Directions: We Recommend Feeding Your Dog/Puppy Within The Following Guidelines
Dogs and puppies have sensitive stomachs. We recommend switching your dog's/puppy's food gradually over one week, mixing the food as follows:
Day | %Previous Dog Food | %Gentle Giants |
---|---|---|
Day 1 | 80% | 20% |
Day 2 | 70% | 30% |
Day 3 | 60% | 40% |
Day 4 | 50% | 50% |
Day 5 | 40% | 60% |
Day 6 | 30% | 70% |
Day 7 | 20% | 80% |
Day 8 | 100% Gentle Giants |
We recommend that you feed your dog/puppy the same total daily amount that you have been feeding, but spread it over five or more smaller, more frequent meals each day. Elevate all food and water bowls to a height so that your dog/puppy doesn't have to lean down, just has to tilt his/her head down to eat and drink. Feed food for 10-15 minutes, then remove food. Provide clean, fresh water at all times. No stress, exercise or riding in a vehicle for at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after each meal. You can read about how we feed and care for our dogs/puppies at: https://www.gentlegiantsdogfood.com/special-feeding-and-care-program.html. All of Gentle Giants dry and wet dog and puppy foods can be mixed together for added taste and variety.
Highly Active, Athletic Adult Dogs Food requirements will vary depending on breed, environment, temperature, and stress factors. Highly active, athletic dogs will require an additional amount of food depending on their level of activity. Food intake should be adjusted to maintain optimum body weight.
Puppies Gentle Giants Quality Of Life TM Feast For Meat Lovers with real beef and real bacon may be fed to puppies at approximately four weeks of age. Introduce dry dog food to puppies by moistening with water. It is recommended that puppies be fed at least five times per day. Adjust feeding amounts according to the guideline below.
Gestating/Lactating Females Gestating/lactating females may require additional amounts of food to maintain desired body condition. Adjust feeding rate accordingly.
The portions below are recommendations only, and your dog/puppy may need more or less food to maintain proper weight. Requirements may vary depending upon breed, temperament, environment, season and other possible stress factors. Start by feeding the same total daily amount that you have been feeding over smaller, more frequent meals, and then adjust as needed and consult us or your veterinarian if unsure. We recommend that you maintain a program of regular visits to your veterinarian.
Daily portions are based upon a standard 8 oz. measuring cup.
When transitioning to a new pet food, do so slowly over a period of about 7-10 days, mixing an increasing amount of new food with old food each day: Start with 75% old food mixed with 25% new food for approximately three days. Then mix 50% old with 50% new for approximately three days.
We tried this food for our 50Lb American Bully girl. She liked it and ate it, however within 2 weeks we started noticing abnormal huge stools and frequent. Poor girl couldn't hold them and was messing in the house. She was stooling massive amounts 5-6 times a day. I called Chewy and they graciously refunded my money. I put her back on Proplan and she is back to normal with 2 normal stools a day.
Love this food and so do my dogs. I spent a lot of time researching quality dog foods and comparing their ingredients, protein, fat,& moisture etc levels. I compared it with the higher-priced name brand vet recommended dog foods and this has the same quality ingredients-for a much more affordable price And it has never had a recall either!
We were busing the chicken flavor & we noticed softer thicker coat & more energy. When we got Lola we realized she was allergic to chicken & even though the bag may be listed as lamb & rice the 2nd ingredient is chicken. Discovered this variety & both dogs loved it, lost Chloe last week.
We have been using the Gentle Giant brand for 6 months now. Our dogs love the food. We prefer salmon, but Chewy has been out of stock on salmon for months. What we noticed when we switched. 1 - our one dog who is 11 years old perked up after about a month of eating the food. 2 - other dog has food allergies and we have noticed since we put her on this food, she no longer licks her paws or gets blood blisters on her face. 3 - was told by the company I wouldn't need to have teeth cleanings, as this food is really good at removing the tartar from their teeth. I am a believer! Last vet visit, was told teeth cleaning would not be needed. It's been almost a year since they last had the cleaning.
With the name "Gentle Giants" I was worried it would be too big for our small dogs. But it's very small pieces and they love it. And it benefits a RESCUE! Win-Win. Highly recommend. It's great having a healthy choice in food for our dogs.
First bag and already my dog’s poop is solid and consistent. He’s had ongoing issues with digestion, always looking for grass to eat every time we go out. I’ve tried several different brands to see if it makes a difference including adding pumpkin, and by far this has been the best. I serve it alone or with a topper (ie ground beef, peas). A happy 67lb Lab/Staff here!
I fed my dog the same food for the past 8 years. About a year ago, he started having very loose and stinky stools, so I started giving him probiotics. About a month ago, I started changing his food to Gentle Giants Beef & Bacon food. What a difference! Last week, I gave him the last of the probiotics. He is still doing great! I should have switched to Gentle Giants a long time ago.
Based on the reviews and a recommendation from a friend I went ahead and transitioned my dog to this dog food. Sadly, it did not work for her so I have about 20lbs of dog food that I cannot use. Sure it is great for other dogs.
My dogs love the taste of this food and I love the ingredients, the added probiotics, and that it is more affordable than other comparable brands. One of my dogs has a very sensitive stomach and is allergic to chicken. She does great on this recipe.
I love this product and can only find it at one store, but they keep running out. Chewy carries it as well and received fast delivery. My dog is very happy and healthy. Vet keeps asking me about it. Great for all dogs.
