Feeding Guidelines
Adult dogs should be fed twice per day. Puppies should be fed three times per day, until six months of age. Monitor your dog’s weight when beginning this new diet. He may appear hungrier than usual, as there are no additives, sulfites, preservatives or fillers in our Canine Life diet. It's also likely that he’s just really enjoying his new food!
Larger dogs require fewer calories per pound of body weight than smaller dogs.

Use the above feeding chart as a guideline.
Weigh your dog before beginning this new diet, and re-weigh periodically. Adjust the amount of food you are feeding if necessary.
Depending on your dog's breed, age and energy level, he may need more or less food.
WEST COAST CANINE LIFE suggests the daily addition of Atlantic deep water WILD salmon oil to provide the essential Omega-3 fatty acids. Our favourite is Vital Choice, which we also take ourselves. It can ordered directly from their website at www.vitalchoice.com
Your New Puppy.
Congratulations on your new puppy and your commitment to feeding him a whole foods, fresh cooked diet!
Puppies develop at different rates, depending on their breed, and need to be provided with different amounts of calcium as they grow. WEST COAST CANINE LIFE has a Pre-Mix and calcium supplement specially formulated for the health needs of your growing puppy.
When making muffins for your puppy, you will use 2 lbs of raw ground boneless chicken per batch. This will provide your puppy with approx. 24 to 28% protein. Please use chicken in your muffins until your puppy is six months old before introducing other meats.
Chicken is easy to digest, and is often less allergenic than other meats. After six months try introducing other proteins such as turkey, lamb, beef, game or fish for variety.
