Puppy Feeding Guide
The table below provides an indication of the amount of 4 legs Puppy Food (3 Meats with Rice & Parsley) to feed to growing dogs of small and medium sized breeds*. Remember this is a guide only and individual puppies may need slightly more or slightly less than the amounts shown.
The daily ration should be divided into three or four meals per day for young puppies (less than 4 months of age) but for older puppies two meals per day is generally sufficient.
Make all changes in food amount, meal numbers and food type (eg. puppy food to adult food) as gradually as possible.
Adult food can start to be introduced when puppies have grown to around 80% of their expected adult weight.
