* For dogs with an expected mature body weight of over 45kg, it is possible to change to our Large Breed Junior kibble at an earlier stage if your dog is eating too quickly.

 

Puppies up to 3 weeks old. Initially, offer small amounts of food soaked to a mush with either warm water or milk.

Puppies over 3 weeks old. If feeding with milk, gradually replace with water. From 6 weeks slowly reduce liquid. Give small feeds and replace dampened kibble with fresh food.

The recommended daily serving is only a guide as requirements vary considerably from dog to dog. Feed in one meal per day or ideally divide into two meals, using 1/3rd in morning and 2/3 in evening. Feed dry with separate bowl of water or moisten with warm water to bring out the flavour. Store in cool dry place; keep closed between uses. Supply plenty of clean, fresh drinking water at all times. We recommend that feeding be supervised
