Feeding Instructions:Use a standard 8 oz/250 ml measuring cup (approx. 112g of Pro Plan). Start puppies on moistened or dry kibble at 3–4 weeks, allowing them to eat at will until fully weaned (6–8 weeks). After weaning, feed three small meals daily, transitioning to two feedings (morning and evening) as they grow. Adjust portions to maintain ideal body condition, as overfeeding can lead to excessive weight gain, particularly in medium breeds. For pregnant or lactating females, feed to maintain ideal body condition, as food intake may double or quadruple during lactation. Transition gradually over 7–10 days to avoid digestive upset. Provide fresh water daily and consult a veterinarian for personalized feeding plans.

Customer Insights:Pet owners love the palatability of this formula, with puppies eagerly eating both dry and moistened kibble. The inclusion of colostrum and probiotics is praised for supporting immunity and digestion, with many noting healthier coats and fewer stomach issues. Some concerns exist about ingredients like menadione (synthetic Vitamin K) and garlic oil, which may pose risks in rare cases. Always consult your veterinarian before switching foods, especially for puppies with sensitivities.
