Quick question, how do you know how much to feed?
if you go to natures variety web page they have a calculator that will help you decide based on your dog's weight and activity level...select the link that says: amount to feed. for example you say your dog is 13 lbs...if her activity level is moderate she should eat 4 oz a day... if you use the medallions which are easier to thaw out that would be 2 per meal if you are feeding twice a day...ok you get my drift. If you give treats you may want to account for that as well.
With Romeo, I had to adjust because he had started to get chunky...according to the website he should be eating 8 oz, but I give 6oz during summer, because his activity level goes way down...we live in Houston and is just too hot and humid to be outside during the day for a long period of times, so is just quick bathroom breaks.
Okay, I am sorry I am rambling. I don't use NV not because is not good but because Romeo is allergic to some of of its ingredients like carrots...I wish I could feed since is so easy with the medallions.
Good luck, sorry long post.[
