Feeding Guidelines
Daily Feeding Guide
For puppies/pregnant dogs: begin by feeding the suggested daily amount. Your pet may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian. For nursing dogs: keep food available at all times.
For increased trainability of puppies it is recommended to feed this food to mothers during pregnancy and nursing as well as to the puppies. Feeding this food for the first time? Mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period. Keep fresh water available at all times! We recommend that you take your pet to the veterinarian at least twice a year for regular health check-ups. Your pet's nutritional needs change with each lifestage. Continue to give him the same precise and balanced nutrition by transitioning your puppy to one of the Hill's® Science Diet® adult dog foods once he reaches 1 year of age. Hill's® Science Diet® Puppy Healthy Development is also available in Small Bites, Lamb Meal & Rice Recipe, Large Breed, Lamb Meal & Rice Recipe Large Breed - dry food varieties and Savory Chicken Entrée - canned variety. To prevent injuries, keep package out of reach of pets and children.
