Notes

Feeding Guidelines

  • Calorie Count: Approximately 500–600 calories per 4 oz ball (depending on size).
  • Frequency: Offer Satin Balls as a supplement, not a complete diet.
  • Portion Control: Start slowly, with one ball per day for large dogs and half for smaller dogs, adjusting based on weight goals.
  • Consult Your Vet: Especially for puppies, seniors, or dogs with health issues.
⚠️ Important Note: Satin Balls are traditionally fed raw. If raw feeding is not your preference, you can bake them lightly at 350°F for 15–20 minutes.
