Additional Information

Precautions

• Monitor weight changes: Adjust the portion size if your puppy is gaining too rapidly or losing weight. This formula is rich in nutrition and calories.

• Seek vet guidance: Talk with your veterinarian before making any changes to your puppy’s food or serving size, especially if there are existing health concerns.

Storage Information

• Keep air out: Store the food in something that closes completely so no air, dust or bugs can get inside.

• Serve dry or moistened: Offer the kibble dry, or lightly moisten it for puppies who prefer a softer texture.
