Puppies start to nibble solid foods at 3 - 4 weeks of age. Keep moistened Pro Plan available at all times. Allow your puppy to eat at will until fully weaned (6 - 8 weeks). After weaning, Pro Plan can be fed moistened or dry. For best results, develop a regular feeding schedule suchas three small meals a day for younger puppies. You can gradually reduce to one feeding in the morning and one in the evening as your puppy ages. The routine should not vary. As puppies near adulthood, their calorie needs may drop, and your puppy may begin leaving some food in the bowl. Don't misinterpret this as an indication of dislike for the food. Instead, begin offering less so your puppy doesn't overeat and stays in ideal body condition. FEEDING FOR REPRODUCTION: Pro Plan provides the extra nutrition needed by reproducing females in stages of gestation and lactation. Food consumption may vary during gestation, so feed the amount needed to maintain the pregnant female's ideal body condition. Food intake may double or even quadruple during lactation.Feeding Chart: |Weight at Maturity (lbs)|1-1/2 - 3 Months|4 - 5 Months|6 - 8 Months|9 - 11 Months|1 - 2 Years||---|---|---|---|---|---| |2 - 12|1/4 to 1-1/4|1/3 to 1-1/4|1/2 to 1|1/3 to 1|Feed as Adult||13 - 20|3/4 to 1-1/2|1-1/4 to 1-2/3|1-1/4 to 1-2/3|1-1/4 to 1-1/3| Feed as Adult||21 - 50|3/4 to 2-1/2|1-2/3 to 3|1-3/4 to 2-3/4|1-2/3 to 2-3/4| Feed as Adult||51 - 75|1-1/4 to 2-2/3|3-1/2 to 4|3-2/3 to 4-1/4|3 to 4-2/3|2-3/4 to 3-1/2||76 - 100|1-2/3 to 2-2/3|3-1/3 to 4|3-2/3 to 4-1/4|4-1/3 to 5|3-2/3 to 4||100+|2-2/3 cups plus 1/4 cup for each 10 lbs of body weight over 100 lbs|4 cups plus 1/3 cup for each 10 lbs of body weight over 100 lbs|4-1/4 cups plus 1/3 cup for each 10 lbs of body weight over 100 lbs|5 cups plus 1/3 cup for each 10 lbs of body weight over 100 lbs|4 cups plus 1/4 cup for each 10 lbs of body weight over 100 lbs Using a standard 8 oz/250 ml measuring cup which contains approximately 112 g of Pro Plan.

Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Pro Plan until you're feeding Pro Plan exclusively. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.
