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	OVERWEIGHT

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
