NDF: Perfect Health Diet
NDF Feeding Guidelines
For an extensive explanation of NDF (Perfect Health Diet) Products, visit the NDF section.
When you open the box, you will find two bags, a pale blue one for the morning and a dark blue one for the evening. Open both. Take a cup measure and follow the feeding directions (see feeding guidelines below). ADDING WATER TO THE A.M. FOOD IS ESSENTIAL. All the moisture has been taken out of the ingredients, and you must add it back to ensure the proper acid/alkaline balance of the diet. Too little water will cause your dog's stool to become mucousy and his system too acidic.

If you have a puppy, please read the feeding puppies section.

Feeding Cats PM NDF with PHD
We have found that some cats enjoy eating NDF Crumble. You may use the P.M. food for your cats, as long as you follow the directions here:
Cats should be fed 2-3 times a day. Food should only be left down for 10 minutes, then picked up. Store any food left in the refrigerator to use for the next meal. If your cat is always leaving food, decrease the quantities of each meal, until the dish is licked clean. (for larger cat families, just multiply the amounts). |
