• Making the Switch to Pro Plan:
  • Although you’ll be anxious to see the difference Pro Plan can make in your dog, please allow 7 – 10 days to ease the transition from your dog’s current food.
  • Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Pro Plan until you’re feeding Pro Plan exclusively.
  • This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.

Manufactured and Guaranteed

Manufactured and Guaranteed by: Nestlé Purina PetCare Company, St. Louis, MO 63164 USA Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Pro Plan Puppy Lamb & Rice Formula provides complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages, including growth of large-sized dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult).

RECOMMENDED DAILY FEEDING AMOUNTS

• Using a standard 8 oz/250 ml measuring cup which contains approximately 112 g of Pro Plan.
• Puppies start to nibble solid foods at 3 – 4 weeks of age.
• Keep moistened Pro Plan available at all times.
• Allow your puppy to eat at will until fully weaned (6 – 8 weeks).
• After weaning, Pro Plan can be fed moistened or dry.
• For best results, develop a regular feeding schedule such as three small meals a day for younger puppies.
• You can gradually reduce to one feeding in the morning and one in the evening as your puppy ages.
• The routine should not vary. As puppies near adulthood, their calorie needs may drop, and your puppy may begin leaving some food in the bowl.
• Don’t misinterpret this as an indication of dislike for the food.
• Instead, begin offering less so your puppy doesn’t overeat and stays in ideal body condition.
• Nestlé Purina Research indicates that avoiding the overfeeding of puppies may help their development.
• Maintaining ideal body condition is key to encouraging proper growth in all puppies, especially large breeds.
• The indicated amounts are only a guideline.
• If your puppy becomes overweight, a reduction of your puppy’s daily food intake may be appropriate.
• You may wish to consult your veterinarian about a weight control program.
