Helpful Tips

• For puppies/pregnant dogs: begin by feeding the suggested daily amount. Your pet may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian.
• For nursing dogs: keep food available at all times.
• Feeding this food for the first time? Mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.
• For maximum benefit, this product must be fed as the only food. Use of supplements or mixing with any other food is not recommended.
• Keep fresh water available at all times!
• We recommend that you take your pet to the veterinarian at least twice a year for regular health check-ups.
• Your pet's nutritional needs change with each lifestage. Continue to give him the same precise and balanced nutrition by transitioning your puppy to Hill's® Science Diet® Healthy Advantage™ Adult dog food once he reaches 1 year of age.
• Science Diet is available in a wide variety of dry foods for your puppy's unique needs. Canned puppy food is also available from Science Diet in a delicious savory chicken flavor that your puppy will love.
• To prevent suffocation, keep this plastic bag out of the reach of pets and children.
