Feeding guide
See table for recommended daily feeding amounts. These amounts are guidelines only. Ensure your puppy and mother maintain a lean body condition by adjusting the daily amounts according to your dog’s activity level, physical condition and individual needs. During weaning, introduce solid food gradually. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times. To monitor your dog’s health, consult a vet regularly.

Reviews
Was really impressed when I received the dog food. The bag is quite eye catching and extremely strong so no spills or rips. My dog literally rampaged through the bowl of food when I gave it him. He has loved it and as soon as I put the bowl down he eats it all (even struggled with the cats stealing and it and fighting for it) Had no problems with his stomach either which is great. The morsels of food are a nice size and not crunchy which I prefer. Can’t recommend this enough and will definitely be buying it again in the future
My Springador has just turned 6 months old and this is the first time I have given her a new brand of food so was initially concerned if she would take to it - I needn't have worried as she loved it straight away!
This is the perfect food as it contains colostrum to help support her immune response as well as a combination of key nutrients that helps to support healthy joints and specific ingredients to benefit long term health. The crunchy kibble has high quality pieces of chicken and has been specially formulated for dental maintenance.
I haven't noticed any change in her already high energy levels but really like that this product has such excellent nutritional values that will ensure she continues to thrive into adulthood.
Ever since the dog food arrived my puppy couldn’t stop licking the bag. So I knew it he is very attracted to it. And I was right from the first bowl he loves it he can’t get enough. The kibble is slightly bigger then normal size which is a bonus because sometimes he forgets to chew.
Hi digestive system seems to work fine and his coat has nice shine to it. So far he is happy
My 6 months old dachshund puppy wouldn't leave the bag from the moment it arrived until I opened iy and gave him some. Oh, the excitement! They were better appreciated than his usual puppy pellets and even than the training rewards, although they are at least twice the size. And he still enjoys the Purina Pro Plan Optistart Large Athletic Puppy - Chicken food although I feed him raw meat meals alternatively with dry pellets. Best choice ever!
