COMBINATION FEEDING: If feeding with Wellness wet food, reduce dry amount by ⅛ cup (16 g) for every 2 tbsp (16 g) of wet food.
FOR PREGNANT OR NURSING DOGS: Since DHA is transferred to puppies in mother’s milk, we recommend feeding this during pregnancy and nursing. When pregnant, feed up to 50% more food according to body weight at 12 mos. For nursing dogs, allow her to eat at will.
Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size, activity level, breed and environment. Please use feeding guidelines as an initial recommendation and adjust as needed.
