Feeding Guidelines

These amounts are a starting point only because animals’ needs vary.1 Adjust the feeding amount to maintain optimal body weight.

PUPPIES

Science Plan^TM 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, 4 kg puppy may require between 105 and 145 grams of these Science Plan^TM Puppy Healthy Development^TM 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). A 370g can is equal to 125 grams of the dry food.
