Baked & Coated recipes deliver complete and balanced, high-protein, high-meat nutrition to form the foundation of the ultimate daily bowl.

Our Baked & Coated range is crafted to be served on its own as a complete and balanced meal. To boost your pet’s daily nutrition, try topping Baked & Coated with our Freeze-Dried feasts.
Feed as a complete & balanced meal
Use a standard 8 oz (240mL) cup and fill with food indicated in the feeding guide below and adjust as required. Feed twice daily and always provide fresh, clean water.
These feeding amounts are intended as a daily guide.
Individual requirements may vary by up to +/- 50%, depending on age, activity level and breed.
For pregnant or nursing dogs, feed 2–3 times the adult amount per day.
Puppies have higher energy needs than adult dogs, so their recommended daily feeding amounts should be adjusted based on age:
- Up to 3 months: Feed 3–4 times the standard feeding guide amount.
- 3 - 6 months: Feed 2–3 times the standard feeding guide amount.
- 6 - 12 months: Feed 1½–2 times the standard feeding guide amount.
Meal Frequency:
- Up to 6 months: Divide daily food into 2–3 meals per day.
- 6 - 12 months: Feed twice daily.
*Large breed puppies expected to exceed 70lb+ (31kg+) as an adult should wait until fully grown before transitioning to our Baked & Coated diets
A note on feeding
Every dog is different. Body condition is the best guide for what is right for your pet. We recommend regularly monitoring your dog’s weight and condition, and adjusting feeding amounts if you notice any significant change over time.

Transitioning your pet to our food
We recommend following a 7-10 day transition plan. Start by mixing a small amount into their current food, slowly increasing the amount over 10 days until they enjoy an entire bowl of K9 Natural. Transitioning correctly over this time will give your pet (and their stomach) time to adjust to the high-meat, nutrient-dense content of our food.
