Performatrin® Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Puppy Formula is recommended for puppies up to one year of age. The amount of food required to maintain your puppy in optimum body condition varies depending on a number of factors including age, size, and activity level. Use the following chart as a guide, but make adjustments according to your puppy’s individual needs. From weaning to 6 months of age, divide the daily portion into three meals. Kibble may be moistened with water to encourage the transition to dry food during weaning. From 6 to 12 months, divide the daily portion into two meals. Gradually change to Performatrin® Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Adult Formula at approximately one year of age. This formula is 100% complete and balanced nutrition, and guaranteed delicious for your puppy’s dining pleasure. Pregnant and nursing dogs require extra nutrition. Feed pregnant females an amount of food similar to that shown for an 8 to12 month old puppy. Feed lactating females as much as they require in order to maintain good body condition. Make all food changes gradually. Always provide access to clean, fresh water. Ensure your dog receives regular veterinary care. To keep food fresh, seal bag after each use and store in a cool, dry place. Daily Feeding Guide:
