Feeding Guidelines for NutriSource® Small & Medium Breed Puppy Food
The amount of food your puppy consumes depends on their activity level, age, breed, and environment. A standard 8 oz. (250 cc) measuring cup holds approximately 4.54 oz. (129 g) of NutriSource® Small & Medium Breed Puppy Food. Around 5–7 months and again at approximately 12 months, your puppy may naturally decrease their food intake. This is due to a slower growth rate and a reduced caloric requirement. If you have concerns about your puppy being underweight or overweight, consult your veterinarian. Always provide clean, fresh water for your puppy.
Reproduction Support
NutriSource® Small & Medium Breed Puppy Food is formulated with essential nutrients to support females during gestation and lactation. During these stages, food intake may double or triple to meet their increased nutritional needs.
Feeding Puppies
Begin feeding moistened NutriSource® Small & Medium Breed Puppy Food at 3–4 weeks of age. (when they can begin eating moistened food) until they reach their adult weight, which typically occurs around 12–18 months of age, depending on the breed and growth rate. Continue moistening the food until your puppy can chew easily. Puppies typically consume up to three times the volume of food that an adult dog of the same weight would eat. Divide their daily ration into three feedings per day. Once puppies reach their adult weight, follow the feeding recommendations in the adult guidelines chart.
Transitioning to NutriSource®
To ensure a smooth transition to NutriSource®, gradually mix increasing amounts of NutriSource® Small & Medium Breed Puppy Food with decreasing amounts of their current food over five days. Adjust feeding amounts based on your puppy’s age, weight, and activity level.
