Feeding Guide for Companino Vitalive Effilés

General feeding guidelines based on your dog's weight (adjust based on activity level and body condition):

• Small dogs (under 20 lbs): ½–1 cup per day, split into 2 meals
• Medium dogs (20–50 lbs): 1–2 cups per day, split into 2 meals
• Large dogs (50+ lbs): 2–3+ cups per day, split into 2 meals

When switching to Companino Vitalive Effilés, transition slowly over 7–10 days — start with 25% new food mixed with 75% old food, increasing gradually. Watch for digestive upset (loose stool, vomiting, excessive gas) during the transition. If issues persist beyond 10 days, the formula may not suit your dog.

How We Score Pet Food

Our safety score uses a position-weighted formula: ingredients listed first (higher concentration) receive more weight in the calculation. Each ingredient is scored 1-10 based on published veterinary research and regulatory data. The final product score reflects the overall ingredient quality, with penalties for known carcinogens, artificial preservatives, low-quality fillers, and artificial colors.

What to Look For in Dog Food

• Named protein first — "Chicken" or "Salmon" is better than "Meat by-products"
• Minimal fillers — Avoid corn gluten meal, wheat middlings, soy flour as top ingredients
• No artificial preservatives — BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin are linked to health concerns
• No artificial colors — Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 2 serve no nutritional purpose for dogs
• Omega fatty acids — Flaxseed, fish oil, or salmon oil support skin and coat health
• Joint support for seniors — Glucosamine and chondroitin for older dogs
