Whole Dogg is a concentrated source of essential nutrients to complement homemade diet recipes and provide balanced nutrition.
​
This carefully curated blend of nutrient-rich whole foods contains all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids necessary to turn fresh home cooked foods into complete and balanced meals.
Using Whole Dogg
The amount of supplement required will vary depending on recipe ingredients and individual dog needs.
Typically, for every 100g of dog food, 1 scoop (1g, less than 1/2 tsp) of Whole Dogg Balancing Supplement will be needed. For growing puppies and for cats, 2 scoops per 100g may be required.
For your 'average' cat, this would be about 2 scoops per day, and for 'average' dogs about 5 scoops per day for every 10kg of bodyweight.
At this dose, a tub of Whole Dogg will last about 4-8 months for a cat or small dog and about 1-2 months for a medium-sized dog.
