 Feed Pregnant Dogs up to 50% more during the last 3 weeks of pregnancy.
 During Lactation and Puppies up to six months old, require twice the amount of food as an adult dog and they should be fed 3 to 4 times a day. Puppies, six months to a year, twice daily. 

 Senior and Overweight Dogs may be fed a reduced amount, depending on the dog's weight and activity level.

The above Daily Feeding Guidelines are a good starting point on the amount of food suggested to be fed on a daily basis. If you feed more than once per day, simply divide the Daily Feeding Guidelines by the amount of times fed per day.
 

Grain Free, High Protein, Low Carbohydrate Diets may not be suitable for all dogs. If you have dietary concerns, please consult with your veterinarian.
