Feeding Guidelines
Daily Feeding Guide
These amounts are a starting point only. Your pet may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian. For pregnant or nursing large breed dogs: Science Diet® Puppy Healthy Development Original or Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Recipe is the recommended product. For increased trainability of puppies it is recommended to feed Science Diet® Puppy Healthy Development Original to mothers during pregnancy and nursing and Science Diet® Puppy Large Breed 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.
