Feeding Instructions
GESTATION: Increase from 25% to 50% of the adult amountLACTATION: Feed "free choice" SMALL AND MEDIUM PUPPIES: At 1 ½ - 3 months old, feed twice the adult amount. At 3-6 months, feed 1 ½ times the adult amount. At 6-11 months, feed 1 ¼times the adult amount. Calculations made in table on packaging.
Transition Instructions
When switching diets, it’s important to transition your dog or puppy as it takes time for her digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ORIJEN. Over a 5-14 day period, gradually mix in ORIJEN, increasing the amount each day so that by day 14 you are feeding 100% ORIJEN.
