Instructions
Feeding Recommendations: Arden Grange Weaning/Puppy should first be soaked with a little warm water and mixed a fork to form a smooth porridge that is just the right consistency for lapping. We recommend that puppies are fed by the portion control method, which allows you to monitor their individual intake more accurately. Leave the porridge down for around 15 minutes each time, after which you should remove any uneaten food (or give it to their mother). This routine should be repeated for each mealtime, usually 4 times per day or more.
Feeding Quantities: As well as body weight and age; the dam's milk supply, age, activity level, temperament, digestion and rate of metabolism may influence the amount of food required. See chart below for guidance. Always ensure fresh, clean drinking water is available.
