GESTATION / LACTATION SUPPORT

Nutritional profile specifically adapted for the mother?s high energy needs at the end of gestation and during lactation.

IDEAL FOR TRANSITION FROM MILK

Nutritional response helps to facilitate the transition from mother?s milk to solid food.

EASY REHYDRATION

Kibbles easily rehydrate to a porridge-like consistency that is very palatable for both the mother and her weaning puppies.

How to rehydrate kibble

1. Mix kibble with 140?F water at a 1:2 ratio (kibble to water).

2. Allow mixture to sit and soak for 15 ? 20 minutes before stirring to make porridge.

3. Do NOT discard any excess water, as it can contain important nutrients.
