These guideline amounts are a starting point and
your puppy may need more food depending upon age,
activity and temperament. In order to reach optimal
body condition, you may need to adjust food intake.
This represents the total recommended volume of food
per day. You should divide the total recommended
feeding amount by the number of times you feed your
puppy per day to get the actual portion size per
feeding.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE REMEMBER - To have clean, fresh water available for your puppy at all
times. |
| |
| This dog food formula is
also recommended
for pregnant or nursing dogs |
- During the last three weeks of gestation, increase feeding amounts
by 25% to 50%. During lactation, feed as much as she wants (usually two
to five times the guideline amount, depending on litter size).
- When introducing Iams ProActive Health Smart Puppy food, gradually
mix it with your puppy's current food over the course of 4 days.

| How to Begin Feeding a new Dog Food
brand and/or a dog food Containing Prebiotics |
|
If your dog is not currently eating a food that contains prebiotics and
you’d like to make the switch, there should be a transition period of mixing
the new food with your dog’s current diet. Here’s a sample feeding schedule
over a week’s time: |
|
- Day 1 and 2: Feed approximately one-fourth of new
food mixed with three-fourths of current food.
- Days 2 and 3: Mix half of old food with half of new
food.
- Days 4 to 6: Give your dog three-fourths of the new
prebiotics-containing food and one-fourth of its former chow.
- Day 7: Begin feeding your dog 100 percent of the
new product.
|
| |
| DOGGIE TREATS WE PREFER AND
RECOMMEND |
- Raw "natural fed beef" rib bone, (just the bone without the meat).
Twice a week, 2 pieces (four or six inch in length). The rib beef bone
is soft which can easily be digested and will whiten teeth naturally.
- For training purposes please use small pieces of "beef" hot dogs
ONLY!
|
|
| The Missing Link "PLUS" with Glucosamine: |

diet and an added joint support supplement, that’s why there’s
Missing Link® Plus. Carefully formulated with all-natural,
human-grade whole foods, beneficial nutrients and glucosamine to
enhance your dog’s overall health, agility and mobility.
|
|
| Olewo, Dehydrated carrots |
- Olewo Carrots help improve your dogs health by providing valuable
vitamins, minerals and trace elements which contribute to a well
balanced diet. Along with its high carotene content (an important
pre-cursor to vitamin A), Olewo carrots also contain significant B-group
vitamins.

| the importance of protein - Dogs need protein |
The Importance of Protein: Dogs need protein.
That's because this component of many foods has numerous functions in your
dog's -- and your -- body. It is best known for supplying amino acids that
build hair, skin, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Protein
also plays a key role in producing hormones and enzymes that help to
regulate daily, basic functions. The protein in dog foods can be supplied by
animal sources, plant sources, or a combination of the two. Common
animal-based protein sources used in pet food include chicken, lamb, fish
meal, and beef. Common plant-based protein sources used in your pet's food
include corn-gluten meal and soybean meal.
Your pet's gastrointestinal tract is simple and does not have the capacity
to digest large amounts of plant products. In addition, high quality
animal-source proteins contain all the essential amino acids your dog needs,
whereas some plant-based proteins may be deficient in certain essential
amino acids. So although your dog is classified as an omnivore, it is best
fed as a carnivore.
Protein and Your Dog Feeding your dog a diet with primarily animal-based
protein sources helps to do the following: Maintain your dog's muscle mass
Reverse some age-related changes in skeletal muscles in senior dogs Enhance
the long-term health and well-being of adult and senior dogs The bottom line
is good-quality, meaty dog foods that will have your dog licking its chops
and wagging its tail. At the same time, you can smile with confidence,
knowing that you've fed your loyal friend what it craves and what its body
needs. |
