As a complete diet N-R-G is the premium diet for ALL LIFE STAGES. N-R-G diets are all formulated to meet AAFCO standards for ALL LIFE STAGES. While pet owners will decide how much N-R-G to include in their pets' diet, there are some guidelines to ensure you are maximizing the benefits available to your pet. Activity, age and environment ultimately govern the amount of food you feed your dog.
CAN I MIX N-R-G WITH OTHER FOODS?
While feeding N-R-G as a sole diet will provide the best of benefits for
your pet, lifestyle decisions dictate what and how your pet is fed. N-R-G
can be fed in conjunction with other to your champion pet with amazing
results.
I FEED KIBBLE, CAN I TOP IT WITH N-R-G INSTEAD OF CANNED
FOOD?
If kibble is the bulk of your pets diet N-R-G can be mixed with any
balanced kibble diet or simply added as a palatability enhancer. Adding
N-R-G to a kibble diet will not only improve palatability, but also add an
important fresh factor (phyto nutrients) to your pets diet.
WHAT ABOUT LEFTOVERS AS PART OF A HEALTHY DIET?
If leftovers from the family dinner table are part of your dogs' diet,
N-R-G is a healthy addition to this feeding protocol. Save the leftovers
in the refrigerator until all food groups are represented and then offer
them as a meal to your dog. Feed N-R-G as a separate meal to
provide daily balanced nutrition.
I FEED RAW, IS N-R-G COMPATIBLE?
If a raw diet is part of your feeding protocol, N-R-G can be a positive
addition. Offer N-R-G as a separate meal daily to provide the balanced
portion of the diet. This will maximize the contribution to your pets' good
health.
IF N-R-G IS ONLY PART OF YOUR FEEDING PROTOCOL.
Remember to mix N-R-G with other balanced diets. Serve N-R-G as
separate meal if the other portion of your pets' diet is an unbalanced
ration.
I FEED RAW AND WANT SUBSTITUTE N-R-G... HOW DO I MEASURE?
4 Lbs of N-R-G made fresh in preparation for drying becomes 1 lb when
dry. And 1 lb dry is 6-7.5 cups. So 2 cups of dry N-R-G is equal to 1 1/4 lb of raw food.
CAN I FEED MY PREGNANT DOG N-R-G?
Feeding pregnant dogs N-R-G diets gives the best possible start to unborn puppies. Simply increase the amount of food as the pregnancy progresses monitoring the condition of the bitch and her stool quality. The lactating bitch will have strong, healthy milk flow and nursing puppies will experience the best possible start.
CAN I FEED MY PUPPY DOG N-R-G?
Weaning puppies whose nursing mom ate N-R-G will have an acquired taste for N-R-G that was passed to them through mom's milk. Well soaked N-R-G diets pureed in a blender and served the consistency of pablum is the healthiest of starts for a puppy. A puppy 8 weeks of age can eat N-R-G diets that are well soaked. Monitor your puppies weight and condition as you would a growing child and adjust your puppies diet accordingly.
HOW MUCH DO I FEED?
Suggested servings (dry measure):
Toy dogs up to 10lbs....1/4-1/2 cup a day
Small dogs up to 20lbs....1/2-1 cup a day
Medium dogs up to 60lbs....1-3 cups a day
Large dogs 60-100lbs....3-5 cups a day .
HOW DO I PREPARE N-R-G FOOD?
Add 1/2 - 3/4 cup of warm water for every cup of dry food. Reconstitute for about 20 minutes. Food can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 2 - 3 days. Re-hydrating the food to its original state is essential to reactivate the enzymes that help with digestion and promote oral health.
