 IS THIS YOUR FIRST BAG OF ESSENTIALS? 

With the first bag of ESSENTIALS comes a nutritional lifestyle change. Gradually phase in ESSENTIALS over 4-7 days, or make the change from one day to the next which works equally well. The most important point is to adjust daily portions to suit your pet. Overfeeding will result in softer stools. We therefore advise that you spend the first 2-3 weeks identifying the correct portion size. When your pet’s stools are solid, and your pet feels satisfied, you have found the correct portion size. All you have to do now is enjoy all the benefits of ESSENTIALS. 

Start by feeding your pet 10% less than usual and adjusting from there.
