ProKennel Puppy Formula Food is a premium food with high digestibility and palatability. ProKennel Puppy Formula Food offers optimal nutrition for growing puppies from 6 weeks to 1 year of age, providing the protein, vitamins, minerals, and energy that puppies require, without being excessive. Protein and fat in excess of what a puppy utilizes for muscle and bone development will be stored as fat, placing stress on growing joints.

ProKennel Puppy Formula Food contains carefully selected chicken by-product meal as the main source of protein. ProKennel Puppy Formula also contains whole dried eggs, which is the most digestible source of protein available. The primary sources of starch are corn, wheat, and rice. Rice is one of the most digestible sources of starch, and contributes to the excellent digestibility of this product. High quality poultry fat is added to the food as a source of energy, and as a source of essential fatty acids important for a shiny hair coat. No artificial coloring agents, flavors, or preservatives are added to this product. There is no need to supplement ProKennel Puppy Formula Food with additional vitamins-the vitamins are in the bag.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS: When switching foods, take about one week to make the transition to ProKennel Puppy Formula Food. Each day, increase the amount of ProKennel Puppy Formula fed, and decrease the amount of the previous diet. ProKennel Puppy Formula is highly digestible and palatable, and contains more calories per cup than many other puppy foods. Feed the proper amount of ProKennel Puppy Formula Food to promote growth and proper body condition. We do not recommend free-choice feeding of ProKennel Puppy Formula Food, since many puppies will overeat and become overweight. Overfeeding is detrimental to growing bones and joints, and may result in skeletal abnormalities.

Young puppies should be fed three to four times per day, since their stomach capacity is small. As puppies get older, the number of feedings per day may be reduced to twice daily. The energy needs of the growing puppy are highest during the first 8 months of life. After 8 months of age, energy needs decrease, but are still higher than the adult dog.
