How and when to feed your Dog?

It's important to feed your puppy or adult dog the right amount of food at proper intervals. Your dog will need the right amount of nutrients in order to grow and become a healthy adult. It's critical to your dog's health that his physical condition is monitored regularly and that the feeding amount is adjusted as your dog grows.

To help keep your dog healthy, Hill's recommends following the simple steps in this cycle:

• Weigh your dog.
• Feed him based on feeding guide and veterinary recommendations.*
• Evaluate your dog's physical condition using our on line growth tracker chart. Simply enter the date, your pet's weight, and using the slider you can set your dog's condition score.
• Adjust the amount you feed accordingly as your dog grows.

Switching food:

If switching your dog to Hill's Science Plan, gradually introduce it over a 7-day period. Do this by mixing your dog's former food with increasing proportions of the new food, until only Science Plan is being fed. He will then be able to fully enjoy the taste and benefits of the superior nutrition provided by Science Plan Canine Healthy Development.

You and your vet:

Your vet is the best source of information about the health and wellbeing of your dog. Ask your vet to advise regularly on your dog's weight because achieving and maintaining a pet's ideal weight not only reduces certain health risks, but can lead to your dog having a more energetic, longer and healthier life.
