Eukanuba Puppy Small Breed Dry Dog Food

Feed this food to: small - breed puppies (20 lbs. or less at maturity) 1 - 12 months. Also recommended for pregnant and nursing dogs. During the last 3 weeks of gestation, increase feeding amounts by 25% to 50%. During lactation, feed as much as she wants (usually 2 - 5 times the guideline amount, depending on litter size). Remember to have clean, fresh water available for your dog at all times.

Use A Gradual Transition: Introduce the new food progressively over a four day period by mixing it with your pet's previous food. Begin with a proportion of about 25% new food to 75% previous food. Gradually increase the amount of new food and decrease the amount of previous food until you are feeding only the new diet.

Maintain Normal Feeding Patterns: Feed your dog or cat at the same time each day and in the same area. Use the same bowl, and avoid making abrupt changes to feeding routines.

Enhance Appeal: If your pet tends to be finicky about new foods (this is especially common with some cats), you can boost the appeal of the new food by mixing a little warm water with the food or by initially hand feeding a few pieces. If you mix food with water, discard any uneaten portion after 20 minutes to prevent spoilage.
