Feeding Guide:

For Pregnant and Lactating Mothers:

• Weeks 6-7 of pregnancy: Increase food portions gradually by 10-15% (approximately 400g to 450g daily).
• Weeks 8-9 of pregnancy: Increase food intake by 25-30% (approximately 480g to 550g daily) to ensure optimal fetal growth.
• During lactation: Free-feed (ad libitum) as the mother’s energy demands increase significantly.

For Puppies (Weaning to 8 Weeks):

• Week 2-3: Introduce softened food mixed with warm water in small amounts (about 30g to 50g per feeding, 3-4 times daily).
• Week 4: Gradually increase the quantity of solid food while decreasing the liquid proportion (about 90g to 110g per feeding, 3-4 times daily).
• Week 5: Encourage independent eating with a consistent feeding routine (approximately 155g to 170g per feeding, 4 times daily).
• Week 6-7: Puppies should now eat primarily solid food; feed 4-5 times daily (about 225g to 245g per meal, adjusted as per growth rate).
• Week 8+: Fully transition to solid food, feeding 3-4 meals per day with portion sizes ranging from 280g to 320g, based on weight and energy needs.
