Nutritional Adequacy Statement: Addiction's Salmon Bleu Puppy Formula is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth and reproduction.
Transition Guidelines: As with all new foods, gradually introduce Addiction over 7 days to prevent stomach upsets. Feed 25% Addiction and 75% of the old food for first 2 days and gradually increase proportion of Addiction over the next 5 days. By the 7th day you can be confident of feeding Addiction for the rest of your pets’ life. It is critical that Addiction is slowly introduced to your pet over the 7-day period. Not following these guidelines may result in your pet experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort or related symptoms.
