These ranges are a starting point only because dogs' needs vary. Adjust the feeding amount to maintain optimal body weight. When feeding for the first time, mix increasing amounts of the pet’s new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.
PUPPIES: Science PlanTM Puppy Small & Miniature formula should be fed from weaning until maturity at 1 year old. For weaning puppies, add warm water to the kibbles, let soak and mix into a paste. Keep reducing the amount of water added to the kibbles, until the puppy eats dry kibbles. The daily amount required by individual puppies may vary substantially. Therefore the amount should be adjusted to maintain optimal body weight, and fed as 2-4 meals per day (the number may decrease with age).
