Start by replacing 25% of the current feed with Hungry Eyes fresh dog food from day 1-3, during each meal time.

Increase this quantity to 50% for days 4-7 and day 8 onwards, you could feed a 100% of Hungry Eyes fresh dog food.

Please note the above is a basic guideline, some dogs take to fresh food instantly and some may take a few more days. 

When you adopt a rescued dog, it is difficult to know what they were eating before getting home to you. In this case it is easier to feed them fresh food, however, it may take a week to 10 days for their system to settle. So expect loose stools during this period.

We have a feeding guideline you could refer to based on your dog’s weight. It explains the principle behind quantity of dog feed based on weight, age & activity levels. We have also given a guideline for special diets for your dog, to help you choose the right meal type for your pup.

You can start feeding a puppy from the age of 2 months onwards, until then, it is best for the puppy to be on their mother’s milk.

Our natural pet foods need to be refrigerated. All our products (except bone broth) are vacuum packed to retain freshness and increase the shelf life naturally. The dog meals and only meat category stores in the refrigerator for 10 days and freezer for 30 days.
