• Boiled Lean Pork, Duck, or Cod (Total Weight×0.7) (70% lean protein): Neutral or cooling supportive protein.

Portion Size For Dogs: 

• Small Dogs (<20 lbs): Daily Amount: ½ to 1 cup ~200–350g (0.4–0.8 lbs) of food (wet or home cooked food equivalent).
• Medium Dogs (20–50 lbs): Daily Amount: 1.5 to 2.5 cups ~400–750g (0.8–1.6 lbs) of food (wet or home cooked food equivalent).
• Large Dogs (>50 lbs): Daily Amount: 3 to 4.5 cups ~800–1500g (1.7–3.3 lbs) of food (wet or home cooked food equivalent).

Portion Size For Cats:

• Small Cats (<5 lbs): Daily Amount: 1/4 to 1/2 cup ~50–125g (0.1–0.3 lbs) of food (wet or home cooked food equivalent).

Suggestion: 

• Including Pet's Watery Diarrhea (Heat) in the food to clear Heat, resolve Dampness, calm the digestive tract, and replenish fluids to restore balance. Once stools normalize, transition to the Pet's Firm and Well-Formed Stools for ongoing support.
• Feed at consistent times each day to support digestive health.
• Avoid feeding just before intense exercise to prevent bloating or discomfort.
• Balance Temperature in Food: Avoid overly cold or raw foods, and dairy especially for dogs or cats with weak digestion. Cooked meals are often better.
• Portion Control: Overfeeding can lead to food stagnation and digestive issues.
• Hydration: Provide clean, fresh water at all times, especially with dry or warming foods.
• Bone broth can be added to meals for hydration and to enhance palatability.
• Observe: Monitor changes in stool after diet or herbal adjustments.
