RECOMMENDED DAILY FEEDING AMOUNTS

Weight (lbs) | Weight (kg) | Feeding Amount (cups)  | Feeding Amount (grams)
5 - 9 | 2.3 - 4.1 | 1/4 - 1/2 | 28 - 57
10 - 14 | 4.5 - 6.3 | 1/2 - 3/4 | 57 - 85

Using a standard 8 oz/250 ml measuring cup which contains approximately 113 g of Pro Plan.
FEEDING FOR ADULT MAINTENANCE
It is important that you feed Pro Plan to your adult cat “free choice” throughout the day, rather than as just a single feeding only at mealtime. Food intake required to maintain ideal body condition will vary, depending on age, activity and environment. Watch your cat’s weight and adjust food amounts accordingly. If you have a kitten, or a pregnant or nursing cat, you should continue feeding an appropriate Pro Plan kitten formula.

MAKING THE SWITCH TO PRO PLAN
Although you’ll be anxious to see the difference Pro Plan can make in your cat, please allow 7 - 10 days to ease the transition from your cat’s current food. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Pro Plan until you’re feeding Pro Plan exclusively. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.
Contains a source of live (viable) naturally occurring microorganisms.

Provide adequate fresh water in a clean container daily.

For your pet’s health, see your veterinarian regularly.
