Recommended Feeding Guide

When changing your pet's diet, gradually mix food over a 5-7 day period, increasing daily the amount of new food added so that 100% of the new food will be provided to the pet by day seven.

Food may be served right from the bag or moisten with warm water, if desired. Remember to always provide plenty of clean, fresh water. It is important to monitor your puppy's growth and to visit your veterinarian regularly.

This food is not recommended for pregnant or lactating females. We recommend the Sensible Choice Chicken Meal & Rice Puppy Food.
