How to Feed:

1. Thaw: Place desired amount in refrigerator overnight
2. Portion: Feed according to your dog's weight and activity level
3. Serve: Serve at room temperature for best palatability
4. Store: Keep unused portions in airtight container in refrigerator

Feeding Guidelines:

Feed 2-3% of your dog's body weight daily for adults, 5-6% for puppies. For example:

• 25 lb dog: 8-12 oz per day
• 50 lb dog: 16-24 oz per day
• 75 lb dog: 24-36 oz per day

Adjust based on activity level, age, and body condition. Always provide fresh water.

Transitioning to Fresh Food:

When switching to SMALLBATCH, transition gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food. Start with 25% SMALLBATCH, then increase to 50%, 75%, and finally 100%. This helps your dog's digestive system adjust smoothly.

Common Questions:

Q: What's the difference between lightly cooked and raw?
A: Lightly cooked food is gently heated sous vide style to ensure food safety while preserving most nutrients. It's easier for some dogs to digest and safer for households with immune-compromised members.

Q: Is beef better than chicken for my dog?
A: Both are excellent proteins! Beef is richer in iron and zinc, making it great for active dogs. It's also ideal for dogs with poultry sensitivities.

Q: How long does it last once thawed?
A: Once thawed, use within 4-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Do not refreeze after thawing.

Q: Can I mix this with kibble?
A: Yes! Many pet owners mix fresh food with kibble as a topper or during transition. This adds nutrition and palatability to dry food.

Q: How much does a 10 lb case last?
A: For a 50 lb dog eating 1 lb per day, a 10 lb case lasts approximately 10 days. Adjust based on your dog's size and feeding amount.
