Return to Top
These are the recommended feeding
ranges for puppies. These guidelines should be adjusted as
needed to obtain optimum weight.
Puppies: Feed the suggested amount in three meals per day
until 6 months of age, then twice daily until 12 months.
Adult Dogs: Feed at least 80% of the amount shown for
puppies 29-52 weeks of age.
Pregnant Bitches: During pregnancy, offer 50% more than
the amount shown for puppies 29-52 weeks of age.
Lactating Bitches: Offer at least two to three times the
amount shown for puppies 29-52 weeks of age.
If feeding Natural Choice Small Bites Puppy Chicken Meal, Rice &
Oatmeal Formula for the first time, we suggest you blend
increasing amounts of Natural Choice Puppy with your old food
for six days. Keep fresh drinking water available at all times.
See your veterinarian regularly. Serve dry or lightly moistened.
