	Oatmeal – a nutrient-rich, grain that provides essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, supporting healthy digestion and steady energy levels for pets. It contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids promoting a shiny coat and healthy skin.
	Whole Dried Peas – peas in general are an excellent source of carbohydrates, fibre, protein, and many essential vitamins and minerals. They provide most of the essential amino acids required by dogs and cats. Peas contain insoluble fibre, soluble fibre, and resistant starch which benefits the digestive system.
	Soybean Meal & Soybean Oil– high quality protein with the complementary profile of amino acids and vitamins.
	Beet Pulp – helps maintain a healthy digestive system by feeding beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to better nutrient absorption and overall well-being. Additionally, beet pulp is gentle on the stomach, making it suitable for pets with sensitive digestive systems.

ADULT DOGS

Feed dry kibble as is, or mix with water to make moistened food (see ADD WATER section).

PUPPIES

Puppies can be started on dry kibble as early as they begin to nibble at solid foods (usually 3-4 weeks of age). Until 6 months of age, they should be fed all of the moistened food they will consume at intervals throughout the day. If fed dry, the food may be kept out at all times.

ADD WATER

We strongly recommend adding water to dry kibble to increase your pet’s hydration. To prepare moist food from dry kibble:

• Start by using a lower amount of dry food (than what is indicated above for your pet)

• Add water 1:1 ratio (1 part kibble to 1 part water)

• Let stand for 30-60 min

Note: Check and brush your pet’s teeth regularly.

FIRST TIME FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS

Introduce your pet to vegan pet food gradually.
Option 1. Start by adding Evolution Diet to the old product, to which your pet is already accustomed: 1 part Evolution Diet, 2 parts old product. Then increase the proportion of Evolution Diet until you have 100% Evolution Diet and none of the old product.
Option 2. Start by mixing 1 teaspoon of flaked nutritional yeast, margarine, or vegetable oil to each cup of Evolution Diet. Pets adapt to Evolution Diet with no added flavor after 1-2 weeks.
CAUTION: If the switch to vegan pet food is not done gradually, there is a small risk pets may vomit or get diarrhea.

NUTRITIONAL YEAST

For picky pets add some nutritional yeast (sold separately). Sprinkling nutritional yeast makes the food taste cheesy, a flavour pets love. For 1 cup of dry kibble, sprinkle ¼ of a teaspoon of nutritional yeast.

STORAGE

Store in an air-tight container after opening in a dark cool place. The product is hydrophilic (attracts moisture), and if left in the open for an extended period, can spoil prematurely.
