Feeding Guidelines: These guideline amounts are a starting point, and your puppy may need more food depending upon age and activity level. In order to reach optimal body condition, you may need to adjust food intake. This represents the total recommended volume of food per day. You should divide the total recommended feeding amount by the number of times you feed your puppy per day to get the actual portion size per feeding.
• Remember to have clean, fresh water available for your puppy at all times.
• This recipe is recommended for small and medium breed puppies up to 12 months of age as well as pregnant or nursing dogs of all breed types.
• During the last three weeks of gestation, increase feeding amounts by 25% to 50%. During lactation, feed as much as she wants (usually two to five times the guideline amount, depending on litter size).
• Because IAMS Proactive Health Healthy Puppy Food is complete and balanced for puppies, you do not need to add vitamin or mineral supplements.
• When introducing IAMS Puppy Food, gradually mix it with your puppy's current food over the course of 4 days.
Gradually transition your pet to any new food over the course of 7-14 days to help avoid the digestive upset that abrupt changes in diet can cause. If your pet tends to be on the sensitive side, it may be best to take a little extra time.
- Start by feeding your pet a mix of 25% new food and 75% old food for the first few days.
- Then, increase the amount of new food to about 50% and feed that half-and-half mix for a few days.
- Proceed to feeding 75% new food/25% old food for the next few days.
- Complete the transition by feeding just the new food on its own.
