How to Feed

Generally, large dogs will eat proportionately less and small dogs will eat proportionately more. Simply thaw the package by placing it in the refrigerator for a day or two. When ready to serve, put the appropriate amount in a microwave-safe bowl and gently warm. Barkery meal can be served warm or cold, depending on your dog’s preference. However, warming the food will release the lovely aroma and encourage your dog to eat.

Note: Never heat Barkery meal in the packaging tray it arrives in or in any plastic packaging.

How much to Feed

Larger dogs will generally eat proportionately less than that and small dogs will generally eat proportionately more. As a general rule of thumb, we suggest feeding roughly 2-3% (dog’s weight x 0.02 or 0.03) of your dog’s body weight daily. A growing puppy should get 4-5% (dog’s weight x 0.04 or 0.05) of their body weight in food per day. Measure their weight gain every couple of weeks and adjust the amounts accordingly. Dogs are meant to eat multiple times a day. If possible, ensure you feed your dog at least twice a day. To give you a better idea, a 40-50lbs dog should eat 1lb food a day, split between two meals.

Included below is a feeding chart which should be used as general feeding amount guideline. The amounts shown may not be the recommended portion for your dog depending on the health condition. Please consult your dog’s vet for expert advise on your dog’s dietary needs.
