Feeding features
Puppies during the period of active growth should be fed, calculating the daily portion of the dry diet for them.
Mixtures that contain chicken and pomegranate fillets should be offered to them from the age of 3 weeks.
The daily dosage of a special formula for puppies from birth to seven months of age should be more than the norm for feeding an adult by almost 50%. This means that:
- puppies of large breeds need from 600 to 900 g of a special mixture per day;
- babies of medium breeds are given 450-600 g of a diet;
- babies that belong to small species of breeds - 200-450 g of the mixture.
A large individual (from 30-35 to 65 kg of weight) will need about 400-600 g of food for 1 meal. Adult dogs, but medium breeds (from 15 to 30-35 kg) will need 300-400 g of food. For small animals (weighing no more than 15 kg) the daily rate is 150-300 g. Ideally, it is better to feed them 2 times a day, dividing 1 portion into 2 parts. Elderly animals and those dogs that have very little movement should reduce the usual dosage by 25%.
For the most active pets (sports dogs or service pets), the dose should be increased. It is also necessary to revise the diet during pregnancy or lactation. They receive another third of the dose (for those pets that are active) or a quarter (for pregnant or lactating).
