Why Should I Give Rice Burger to MY Dog?
This gourmet dog food diet has been created by veterinary professionals, specifically for easy processing by the kidneys. The Rice Burger recipe is a reduced-protein diet, similar to Hill’s k/d in nutritional value. This is a low-phosphorus formula recommended for adult dogs with renal disease. The all-natural ingredients are comprised of high quality, fresh, wholesome foods, without additional additives or preservatives.
In combination with the nutritious benefits; Rice Burger stimulates appetite in dogs who have lost interested in their regular diet and provides a wonderful meal supplement for even the healthiest of pets. Owners who have tried Rice Burger have reported an improvement in their dog’s vitality, brighter eyes, enhanced alertness, and (particularly in older animals) an increase in physical activity.
Rice Burger Feeding Guide
1. Rice Burger added to Dog Food - We recommend adding Rice Burger to your dog’s regular food to make it more appetizing and to encourage the animal to eat a balance diet. If the dog has sensitive teeth – you can add a little water or low-sodium chicken broth to the dry food, then mix-in the Rice Burger.
When serving Rice Burger in combination with your dog’s regular food, start by adding 1-to-2 heaping tablespoons into the food , depending on the size of your dog.
2. Rice Burger Alone –If the dog will not eat its regular food and you choose to put him on a diet of Rice Burger alone – please consider adding one human adult vitamin-mineral tablet daily to ensure all vitamins and trace minerals are included. You may also add 1000 mg of fish oil once per day. (If you have a very small dog - reduce vitamins and fish oil dosages, based on your veterinarian’s recommendation.)*
