Why are the amounts on my bag different?

Some KALŪ bags currently in circulation still display our previous feeding chart. As we renew our packaging, we are updating our recommendations for adult dogs with a typical activity level.

The recipe has not changed. Only the adult feeding recommendations have been revised.
