For Puppies: After weaning, puppies should be fed 2 or 3 times per day. Growing puppies require up to twice as much as adult dogs of the same weight.
Pregnant or Nursing Dogs: When pregnant, feed up to 50% more food according to body weight at 1 year old. For nursing dogs, allow her to eat at will.
Dogs over 125 lbs (57 kg): Add ¼ cup (30 g) per additional 10 lbs (4.5 kg).
Combination Feeding: If feeding with Wellness wet food, reduce dry amount by ⅓ cup (40 g) for every 6 oz (170 g) of wet food.
Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size, activity level, breed and environment. Please use feeding guidelines as an initial recommendation and adjust as needed.
