FOLLOW THE FEEDING GUIDELINES ON THE PACKAGE
All the information you’ll need to make an informed decision appears on the package. We suggest you follow it closely, since the targeted nutritional solutions in NUTRO® NATURAL CHOICE dog food are optimised for a dog’s breed size, lifestage and lifestyle. But if you are still unsure of your pet’s ideal body weight or activity level, please consult your veterinarian.
Obesity among dogs is a prevalent issue today, as up to 44% of adult dogs are either overweight or obese. To ensure you are feeding the appropriate amount, our food scientists and nutrition experts have developed precise feeding guidelines designed to provide your dog with the nutrition he needs while maintaining his ideal body weight.
ALL THE ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS, NONE OF THE EXCESS CALORIES
Because NUTRO® NATURAL CHOICE dog food is so densely packed with nutrients, we recommend you feed less than some other foods – to provide the essential nutrients your dog needs without adding unnecessary calories.
YOUR DOG’S BODY CONDITION & ACTIVITY LEVEL
Use this chart on the back of the package to determine your dog’s current body condition:
 |
 |
 |
| UNDERWEIGHT |
IDEAL WEIGHT |

Feeding the proper amount also depends on how active your dog is during the day.
Use this chart to determine activity level:
| Level 1 |
Less than once a day walking on a lead |
| Level 2 |
1-2 hours of play time a day off of a lead |
| Level 3 |
3-4 hours a day of intense training |
| Level 4 |
4+ hours a day of intense training |
