1 standard metric cup (250ml) = 120g. These are guidelines; feed to maintain optimal body condition. If feeding both wet and dry, divide the feeding guide amounts in half. This formula can be fed as dry or rehydrated for weaning by soaking in warm (not hot) water at a 1:1 ratio before feeding.
Pregnancy & Lactation: Increase food by 10-15% starting from week 5 of pregnancy. By delivery, the dog should consume about 50% more than before mating. We recommend dividing meals into several feedings per day for both puppies and pregnant/lactating dogs.
