From 6 to 12 months, feed the daily amount divided into two meals a day. From 13 to 18 months, feed once a day, except for dogs whose daily ration exceeds two cups: these dogs may be fed twice a day. Please use this chart as an initial recommendation only. Every puppy is different and may have special feeding requirements based on exact size, age, activity levels, and body condition.

Feeding Guidelines: Cats & Kittens Formula
Recommended Daily Feeding for Adult Cats
Your cat's requirements may vary from the feeding guide below. Adjust quantities as necessary to maintain optimal weight. Feed your adult cat on a "free choice" basis. Serve the recommended amount of food each morning, and allow your cat to "nibble" throughout the day. If you need to feed separate meals, divide daily amount into equal portions. If you're unsure about how much to feed your cat, seek veterinary advice.
If feeding Grandma Mae’s Country Naturals Cat & Kitten food for the first time, gradually adjust your cat's current diet to avoid stomach upset. Mix 1/4 part Grandma Mae’s Country Naturals food with current food for 2-3 days. Gradually increase the new food and decrease current food over 7-10 days until you are feeding all Grandma Mae’s Country Naturals food.
Keep fresh drinking water available at all times.

Recommended Daily Feeding for Kittens
Switch your kitten from mother's milk to solid food at 4-5 weeks. To ease the adjustment, Grandma Mae’s Country Naturals Cat & Kitten Food may be moistened with water. Add one part water to three parts food.
Daily portions can vary according to age, activity, and temperament of your kitten.
The entire suggested daily amount should be placed in your cat's feeding dish.
A supply of fresh drinking water should be provided at all times. See your veterinarian regularly.
