Depending on the age, activity level, and condition of your dog, the feeding guidelines will need to be adjusted. For pregnant or lactating females, offer two to three times the normal adult requirement. For puppies, feed up to twice the normal adult requirement from four to fourteen months of age in two to three feedings. When switching foods, gradually increase the new food and decrease the previous food to help make a smooth transition. Visit your veterinarian regularly to maintain your pet's health. Always provide fresh water. The above quantities can be fed as one meal or divided into two meals based on your dog's preference.
