Red Mills Breeder | Dry Dog Food | Mother & Puppy - 15kg

The feeding guidelines for Red Mills Breeder Mother & Puppy Dry Dog Food vary depending on whether you are feeding a pregnant or lactating mother dog or growing puppies. For pregnant bitches, the amount of food typically increases gradually throughout the pregnancy, with the highest intake usually recommended during the later stages. Many guides suggest "ad-lib" feeding during lactation to meet the mother's significant energy demands for milk production. The provided example illustrates how the daily food amount increases based on the mother's body weight as the pregnancy progresses, switching to ad-lib feeding during lactation. For puppies, the feeding guide is based on their current body weight and age in months. Younger puppies require more frequent, smaller meals throughout the day, with the total daily amount gradually increasing as they grow. As puppies mature, the number of daily meals typically decreases, while the portion sizes adjust according to their increasing weight. The example table shows how the daily food allowance decreases as puppies age, even as their body weight increases. It's crucial to remember that these are general guidelines. Individual dogs' needs can vary based on their metabolism, activity level, and overall health. Therefore, it's essential to monitor your dog's body condition and adjust the feeding amounts accordingly to maintain a healthy weight. Always ensure fresh water is available and transition to this new food gradually.
