Instinct notes that ideal amounts depend on age, weight and activity level. For dogs over 100 lb, Instinct says to add up to ¾ cup for every 20 lb. Spayed or neutered and less active dogs often need the lower end of the range. Check your dog's body condition after two or three weeks... ribs easy to feel under a thin layer, a waist visible from above... and adjust. Always keep fresh water out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSwitching over\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChange foods gradually over about a week. Start with roughly a quarter RawBoost+ Whole Grain mixed into the old food, move to half, then three quarters, then all RawBoost+ Whole Grain. Going slowly gives your dog's stomach time to adjust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes, and how many cups you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e4.5 lb and 20 lb bags, which hold roughly 18 and 81 level cups. For a 50 lb adult eating 2½ cups a day (the top of Instinct's adult range), that's about 7 days and about 5 weeks respectively. Cup counts are worked out from Instinct's published calorie figures and are close estimates, since kibble settles as a bag is handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the food in its original bag, rolled down tight, somewhere cool and dry. If you use a bin, put the whole bag inside it rather than pouring the kibble in, so the lot number stays with the food. Because Instinct includes freeze-dried raw ingredients, wash your hands after handling the food and wash your dog's bowl after each meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Instinct by Nature's Variety","offers":[{"title":"4.5 lb.","offer_id":32561396416609,"sku":"","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 lb.","offer_id":32561396449377,"sku":"","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/0498\/5185\/products\/boostwholegrainchicken.jpg?v=1595176806","url":"https:\/\/www.thehungrypuppy.com\/products\/instinct-raw-boost-whole-grain-recipe-with-real-chicken-brown-rice-dry-dog-food","provider":"The Hungry Puppy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
