Hello I'm getting a toy poodle put this food be healthy for him
Answer by • Dec 07, 2018
This food is specifically formulated for small breed puppies and would be suitable until your puppy reaches adulthood.
Does anyone know how much a cup of this food should weigh Based on the nutrition info since that’s a more accurate measurement then using a scoop
Answer by • Jul 12, 2018
Generally for dog food, 4 cups is about 1 pound. The 4-lb bag has an approximate total of 16 cups and the 12-lb bag has an approximate total of 48 cups. In this case, 1 cup weighs about 1/4 of a pound or 4 ounces.
For the largest and oldest dog on the feeding chart, a 12-lb bag would last about 8 days. For the smallest and oldest dog on the feeding chart, a 12-lb bag would last about 96 days.
Does this puppy food have red dye in it? My groomer is telling me to stay away from the red dye because of tear eyes on my puppy.
Answer by • Jan 16, 2020
This recipe does not contain dyes. For a complete list of ingredients, click the “Nutritional Info” tab, next to the “Description” tab, just under the product photos.
When do I need to take my puppy a Miniature Schnauzer off of Merrick Dry Puppy Food and start him on Merrick dry adult food? Also, should I have him eating the Lil Plates dry food. I also give him Merrick Wingalings wet food once a day and dry for his other meal. Thank you very much!
Answer by • Jun 22, 2018
Miniature Schnauzers generally reach full size around 12 months of age. That would be the ideal time to start transitioning him from the puppy formula to any adult formula.
