For Pregnant or Nursing Dogs: Since DHA is transferred to puppies in mother’s milk, we recommend feeding this during pregnancy and nursing. When pregnant, feed up to 50% more food according to body weight at 12 mos. For nursing dogs, allow her to eat at will.After processing, this item would probably account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished product. Next, we note the use of taurine, an important amino acid associated with the healthy function of heart muscle. Although taurine is not typically considered essential in canines, some dogs have been shown to be deficient in this critical nutrient.

Combination Feeding: If feeding with Wellness wet food, reduce dry amount fed by ⅓ cup (36 g) for every 6 oz (170 g) of wet food.
