FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS Arden Grange Weaning/Puppy should first be soaked in lukewarm water and mixed to form a smooth slurry. More lukewarm water can be added to achieve the right consistency and for the puppy to lick it off. It is recommended that puppies be fed by the portion control method, which allows individual consumption to be controlled more precisely. We suggest that you let the porridge rest for about 15 minutes and then remove any remains that are not going to be eaten (or given to the mother). This should be repeated at each meal, usually 4 times a day. Remember that age, activity level, character, digestion and metabolic rate can influence the amount of food required. The quantities indicated in the table are only a guide. Make sure that the animal always has fresh and clean water to drink.

It is important to remember that this is only a guide and that there are multiple factors that must be taken into account when assessing the nutritional needs of your pet. Activity Level Temperament/Character (stressed animals burn more calories than those in a more relaxed state) Metabolism (every animal has its own metabolism, this means that 2 dogs of the same age, breed and weight could have different daily calorie needs) In order to administer the correct rations, it is advisable to examine your pet's appetite, appearance and faeces. Although it is not pleasant to examine the stool, it is the best indicator of health. The increase in the frequency of deposition of faeces or producing a large amount of excrement are usually symptoms that the animal is receiving more food than it needs. It is important to know the exact weight of your dog or cat, and also to weigh the food. Otherwise, we would have a large margin of error.
