Feeding
How much Settlers should be fed?
The recommended amount of Settlers to feed is based on your dog’s bodyweight in kilos and is one tablet or 1ml of liquid for every 10kg (22lbs) of bodyweight. For the first three days give half the recommended daily amount to allow the dog’s system time to adjust and avoid ‘funny tummy’ troubles then increase to the whole amount advised. If convenient split the daily ration and give morning and evening to keep magnesium levels topped up throughout the day.
After this adjustment period it is safe to feed increased quantities when anticipating particularly stressful events such as moving to a new home, a stay in kennels, a new addition to the family, competition etc.

Whether you use Settlers in liquid or tablet form will be a matter for personal preference. The decision will be influenced perhaps by how well your dog will accept a ‘pill’ but to make your life easier each bottle of the liquid comes fitted with an adapter and a graduated syringe.
Settlers can either be added to feed (tablets can be fed whole or ground to a powder) or for even greater effect it can be given an hour after feeding. Keeping your dog on a maintenance level would work well in combination with increased amounts at times of greater stress or excitement.
All of this information is simply intended as a starting point. Eventually you may
feel that your dog needs some adjustment to achieve optimum benefit -
