Feeding Guidelines
Feeding Guidelines - Large Breed Puppy Dry Kibble: Note: These are the recommended feeding ranges for puppies. These guidelines should be adjusted as needed to obtain optimum weight. If feeding NUTRO® ULTRA™ food for dogs for the first time, we suggest you blend increasing amounts of NUTRO® ULTRA™ Large Breed Puppy food for dogs with your old food for 6 days. Keep fresh drinking water available at all times. See your veterinarian regularly. Serve dry or lightly moistened.
‡Use a standard 8 oz. measuring cup. Moisten the food until the puppy no longer has sore gums and has sufficient teeth to chew the kibble. Then serve dry or lightly moistened. An individual puppy may differ from this guide.
