Wholesomes Large Breed Puppy Dry Dog Food, 35-lb bag

Good health begins with proper feeding. Wholesomes can help maintain your dog’s health when combined with exercise, veterinary care, & controlling intake of other food & treats. Use this chart as a guide, adjusting as necessary to maintain optimal weight. Portions will vary according to age, breed, temperament & environment.

When introducing Wholesomes, mix increasing amounts of Wholesomes with decreasing amounts of the current food over a 7 to 10 day period. During gestation & lactation, feed 2 to 4 times the portions recommended for the weight of your adult dog. Puppies often begin to eat solid foods at 3 to 4 weeks of age. Food can be served dry or with warm water (3 parts food to 1 part water). Offer clean, fresh water at all times. See your veterinarian regularly.

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.

1. Start by feeding your pet a mix of 25% new food and 75% old food for the first few days.

2. Then, increase the amount of new food to about 50% and feed that half-and-half mix for a few days.

3. Proceed to feeding 75% new food/25% old food for the next few days.

4. Complete the transition by feeding just the new food on its own.
