This food is not like ordinary pet food, so it's important to
take your time when introducing your cat or dog to Sojourner Farms.
To ensure a smooth gentle transition, we suggest gradually switching
-- a little bit at a time -- over a period of at least 3 weeks.
For finicky or sick animals, you may have to take longer to switch.
FEEDING DIRECTIONS FOR DOGS
For normal dogs, always feed a 2:1 ratio of Sojourner Farms to
meat. Mix Sojourner Farms with water and meat and let sit for
at least 10 minutes. For best results, soak overnight in the fridge
and add meat. Use the following charts to determine the amount
of Sojourner Farms (dry weight), water, and meat to feed per day.
The amount of water you feed can vary if you would like to make
a thicker mixture. We recommend once-a-day feeding for adult dog.
If you plan to feed twice per day, simply divide these amounts
by two.

HELPFUL TIPS
• We also encourage adding feeding raw or steamed vegetables.
Start by adding 1/4 cups of chopped veggies in addition to the
regular feeding amounts. Try potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli,
carrots, apples, and bananas. Avoid tomatoes, oranges, lemons,
onion, and other highly acidic fruits and vegetables.
• The longer you soak Sojourner Farms -- the more digestible it
becomes. A few minutes is sufficient for most pets, but some will
require a longer soaking time. For best results, soak overnight.
For skinny dogs, adding avocados helps to put on pounds, and we've
also had excellent results when people mix in a little bit of
alfalfa (which can be found at most health food stores).
• For finicky, ill, or older dogs, convert slower, starting with
just a small dollop of fresh food on top of the old food, and
a gradual increase over 5-6 weeks. Soup stock can also be used
instead of water.
• To save time, combine up to 5 days of Sojourner Farms mix with
meat and water, cover, and refrigerate. Or you can freeze the
mixture for a more extended period in portion-sized baggies
