Feeding Instructions & Recommendations
Proper feeding is crucial for your dog's health and wellbeing. Follow these guidelines for best results:
Puppies (under 1 year)
Feed 3-4 times daily until 6 months, then transition to 2-3 meals daily.
Choose food specifically formulated for puppies or growth stages.
Large and giant breed puppies need controlled growth - use breed-specific formulas.
Adult Dogs (1-7 years)
Feed twice daily at consistent times to establish routine.
Adjust portions based on weight changes - you should be able to feel but not see ribs.
Consider dental health supplements or dental-formula kibble.
Senior Dogs (over 7 years)
Consider senior-specific food with joint support and appropriate protein levels.
Monitor weight closely - seniors are prone to weight gain due to lower activity.
Smaller, more frequent meals may help with digestion.
Transitioning Between Foods
Day 1-2: 75% old food, 25% new food
Day 3-4: 50% old food, 50% new food
Day 5-6: 25% old food, 75% new food
