This product is meant to be fed to growing puppies and pregnant or nursing adult dogs. Puppies should be fed 3 meals per day up to 6 months of age and then twice a day. Provide daily amounts of food divided into the smaller meals. Moisten food until just soft for the early weaning period. Pick up left over food and discard in order to maintain freshness. As puppies grow teeth and can bite dry food, reduce the amount of water added to the food. PREGNANT AND NURSING DOGS Adjust feeding amounts in order to maintain ideal body condition. Feed multiple meals per day with daily amounts divided into smaller meals. Can be moistened. For pregnant dogs, minimal increase is needed during first 6 weeks of pregnancy. After 6 weeks, until whelping, increase amount of food up to 25% more than normal adult maintenance amounts. For nursing dogs, begin increasing amount fed immediately after whelping. Depending on the size of the litter, the amounts needed to maintain ideal body condition will increase up to 50% more than normal adult maintenance amounts. PUPPIES Adjust feeding amounts to maintain steady growth and ideal body condition throughout your puppy’s growth period. Puppies that become larger adult dogs will grow more slowly and for more months than small dogs. Feed large breed puppies (greater than 70 lbs. as an adult) 15% less than amount listed in chart. Amounts will depend on age, activity, environment and temperament. Helping to decrease dog obesity means keeping your puppy at ideal body condition throughout its growth and early adulthood. Puppies that become small/medium size dogs (up to 70 LB) can be transitioned to Natural Balance’s Adult Maintenance Dog Food Formulas at 9-12 months. Puppies that become larger size dogs (over 70 LB) can be transitioned to Natural Balance’s Adult Maintenance Dog Food Formulas at 12-18 months. Keep clean water available at all times.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our puppy loves this food, always gobbles it up. She coat is shiny, her poops are healthy.

We opened a new 12 pound bag of this food to find live maggots crawling around inside. I am absolutely disgusted – needless to say, we will be switching our puppy’s food immediately.

My puppy was having horrible bowel issues and we discovered she was allergic to chicken. This has no chicken at all, by products, nothing. She is feeling so much better, and it helps that she loves the food!

He’s allergic to nearly everything but lamb and fish, AND he’s a picky eater. This was the only kibble that was truly limited ingredient for puppies and he likes it. We’re on our 6-7th bag.

I bought this after realizing my puppy didn’t like his other food and he absolutely loves it! He devours his bowl every time and the formula has lots of essential vitamins for his growth. He’s grown faster on this food compared to the other foods.

This food is amazing. However I will never recommend grand forks pets smart to anyone. I only ordered from here because my shipment got delayed for days and my dog had no food. Shop chewy at all costs they are beyond amazing and AMAZING customer service

Our little yorkie, age 8.5 months, loves this food! We will be putting him on the Adult variety after he is a year old. Very happy with the product.

Our new puppy seems to have a sensitive stomach, so we decided to give this a try. Seems to be helping firm up his poop. It was one of the few limited ingredient puppy foods I could find. I wish it wasn’t quite as expensive but worth it if it helps.

My 3 mini dogs shouldn’t have to eat nuggets fed to large dogs. Mine have been very healthy on this food.

I am so glad my daughter put me on to this healthy choice of dog food for my puppy. She took to it immediately and looks forward to it every day. Either a bit wet or mixed with a lil bit of canned (same product) she loves it! Special benefit is that is has few added ingredients. Great if someone has allergies to those ingredients.
