Feeding guide
Feeding guide
Hound Meatballs are best used as a meal mixer, adding flavour, protein and variety to your dog’s regular meals. Therefore, they should make up around 20% of your dog's daily calories, with the remaining 80% coming from a complete main diet. Please note that Meatball flavours vary in energy density. To calculate a tailored feeding allowance for your dog, use our feeding calculator. A broad guide is:
Small dog (4–10kg): 3–6 meatballs/day
Medium dog (11–25kg): 7–11 meatballs/day
Large dog (26–45kg): 12–18 meatballs/day
Always ensure fresh water is available. Meatballs are not for human consumption (no matter how good they look).
How to feed
How to feed
Add warm (not hot) water and allow meatballs to soften for about 10 minutes before feeding. For small dogs, break into pieces before soaking.
Storage
Storage
Like rice, charcoal, and Reese Witherspoon’s perfect dewy skin, freeze-dried meat absorbs moisture from the air. After opening it’s important to store in a sealed container in a cool, dark, dry place. Keep out of reach of young children and pets. For best results fed within 30 days of opening.
