How to adjust feeding amounts to maintain optimal weight.
DAILY FEEDING AMOUNTS
These amounts are a starting point only because animals’ needs vary.1 Adjust the feeding amount to maintain optimal body weight.
PUPPIES
Science Plan™ Puppy formulas should be fed from weaning until maturity at
1 year old. The daily amount required by individual puppies typically varies
by +/- 16% (e.g. a 4 month old, 4kg puppy may require between 105 and 145 grams of
these Science Plan™ Puppy Healthy Development™ dry formulas per day). Therefore these
amounts should be adjusted to maintain optimal body weight, and fed as 2–4 meals per
day (the number may decrease with age).
PREGNANCY
The amount of these Science Plan™ Puppy formulas to feed to pregnant bitches depends
upon the stage of pregnancy. Often pregnancy is not recognised until the 4th or 5th
week.
LACTATION
Lactating bitches should be fed unrestricted amounts of Science Plan™ Puppy or Science
Plan™ Puppy Healthy Development™ Mini (i.e. fed ad libitum) until weaning is completed.
