Additional Info
Using the chart found in the link in the Nutrition tab, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your puppy per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Every puppy is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use this information as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed. Dry and wet food in combination will help to increase the level of water in your dog’s diet. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/2 cup for every 6 oz of wet food. Pregnant or nursing females may consume two or three times the recommended amount per day.
Transitioning: Gradually mix in the new food over 7-10 days, increasing the amount of Merrick Backcountry Puppy Recipe + Grains each day. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.
