Daily Feeding Guidelines & Storage

Cats: begin with these guidelines. You may adjust feeding portions for desired results to maintain proper body weight. If you are uncertain, consult your Balance Diet vet. tech., or ask your veterinarian. BD-Tip: feed 2-3 meals daily, or free feed BD-Tip:  Keep fresh water available!

Feeding Chart

Weight of Cat Amount per Day 1 lb (.45 kg) 1/8 cup + 5 lb (2,3 kg) 1/3 cup (35 g) - 3/8 cup (40 g) 10 lb (4,5 kg) ½ cup (50 g) - ¾ cup (75 g) 15 lb (6,8 kg) ¾ cup (75 g) - 1 cup (100 g)

BD Tip: Allow kittens to feed until satiated- Pregnant mothers may consume BD™ Kitten food

Storage: Taking good care of your very special food You may find that you do not need to refrigerate/freeze BD™ Cat food, though for the very best results including maintaining optimum freshness and mold prevention we recommend cold storage. We recommend storing back stock cool-cold even if you do not necessarily need to cold store the individual pouch you are currently using. BD™ Cat food should travel well with just what you need (what you can use in 2 weeks or longer) without the necessity for cold storage. Our proprietary VitaMethod process is an excellent stabilizing force, however avoid storing in humidity, as BD™ Cat food is real whole natural food.
