Purina One SmartBlend Large Breed Puppy Formula Premium Dog Food


 

Directions

To open pull red tape off to the left. Puppy feeding instructions. Start puppies on moistened Purina One as early as they will nibble at solid foods, generally 3 - 4 weeks of age. Allow your puppy to eat at will until fully weaned (6-8 weeks). After weaning, feed pups (to six months of age) all of the moistened or dry Purina One they will consume at intervals throughout the day. If water is added, use no more than one part warm (not hot) liquid to four parts Purina One, changing frequently to ensure freshness. If fed dry, this formula may be kept before pups at all times. For best results, develop a regular feeding schedule, such as three small meals a day for younger puppies. Gradually reduce to one feeding in the morning and one in the evening as your puppy ages. The routine should not vary. The importance of ideal body condition. Research at the Purina PetCare Center indicates that avoiding overfeeding of puppies may help their development. Maintaining ideal body condition is key to encouraging proper growth in all puppies, especially large breeds. The indicated amounts are only a guideline. If your puppy becomes overweight, a reduction of his daily food intake may be appropriate. You may wish to consult your veterinarian about a weight control program. Recommended for growth. This product is for growth of large breed puppies and maintenance of adult dogs - not for reproducing or lactating females. If you have a pregnant or nursing female, we recommend Purina One Smartblend healthy puppy formula. No supplements necessary. Purina One provides 100% complete and balanced nutrition for the growth of large breed puppies. There is no need to add vitamins, minerals or other supplements, unless specifically directed by a veterinarian. Making the switch to Purina One. Although you'll be anxious to see the difference Purina One can make in your dog, please allow 7 - 10 days to ease the transition from your dog's current food. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Purina One until you're feeding Purina One exclusively. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets. Fresh water, proper diet & veterinary care. Be sure to provide fresh water in a clean container for your dog daily. Proper diet, exercise and veterinary care are the best ways to keep your dog healthy. If your dog hasn't had a check-up in the past year, please make an appointment today. Store in a cool, dry place.

Other Description

Discover Smartblend® large breed puppy formula. As you're looking at this bag of Smartblend, you might be wondering, what makes this food so smart? For starters, our nutritionists and food scientists are always asking, "Why?" We ask because we're inspired by the science in nature, discovering the power of smart ingredients that work together for your puppy's whole body health. Like real chicken as our first ingredient, along with other key ingredients and nutrients including rice and glucosamine. Why? Because feeding a large breed puppy is a balancing act. An ideal body condition helps minimize stress on growing bones and joints. And the right balance of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients helps them grow healthy and strong - in what might seem like the blink of an eye. And this blend gives them all that including DHA, a nutrient also found in mother's milk, for vision and brain development. See, it's choosing ingredients that work better together than they ever could on their own that inspired us to call this bag of food Smartblend. What's a dual defense antioxidant blend? One that works inside & out. It's probably not something your puppy thinks about, but his Smartblend is working around the clock. It starts with a dual defense antioxidant blend of Vitamins E & A along with minerals zinc and selenium in a 100% complete diet for your puppy. Together, they make a healthy difference on the inside by supporting your dog's strong immune system and on the outside by supporting healthy skin and a radiant coat. Real chicken as the first ingredient blended with other high-quality protein sources helps build strong muscles and a healthy heart. Omega-6 helps give your puppy a radiant coat and healthy skin. Natural sources of glucosamine help support growing joints. Easily digestible nutrition with wholesome rice for your puppy's delicate stomach. Making A Difference, Together. Every time you feed Purina One® pet food, you're not only supporting us, you're allowing us to give back - in a big way. Last year, Purina One brand donated more than 1,000,000 pounds of food to help shelter pets look and feel their best. Pets like Annie, who was adopted at the Humane Society of Missouri. Her owner Janet had done her homework, and knew that a Collie would be right for her family. What surprised her more than finding a Collie puppy at a shelter was finding a staff just as dedicated to the best pet match. "They definitely made sure I was right for the dog," Janet says. "They put so much love and care into these animals; they want to make sure they find great homes." And Annie has! "She's perfect", Janet gushes. "She's blended so well with my family. She's exactly what I hoped for." Proof that smart pet owners like you can make all the difference in a puppy's life. Learn more about Annie and the companionship that she, and many other shelter pets, can bring to any home. Read the rest at purinaone.com. Janet & Annie Adopted 2011.
