Feeding Guidelines - Mother Dogs During Lactation
FEED AS REQUIRED
During lactation, mother dogs have significantly increased energy needs to support milk production. Feed Petrosa StarterĀ (free feeding / as much as the mother dog wants to eat) throughout the nursing period. Lactating dogs may eat 2-4 times their normal maintenance amount depending on litter size.

| 15 - 20 kg | 35 g | 60 g | 100 g | 150 g | 200 g | |
| 20 - 25 kg | 60 g | 100 g | 150 g | 200 g | 250 g |
Weaning Instructions:
- Begin weaning process around 3-4 weeks of age
- Initially, soften kibble with warm water or puppy milk replacer to create gruel consistency
- Gradually reduce liquid as puppies learn to eat solid food (by 6-8 weeks)
- Feed 4-6 small meals per day for very young puppies
- At 8+ months, transition to Petrosa Medium Puppy formula
- Always provide fresh, clean water
Important Note: "These are suggestive guidelines only. The daily nutrition required by dogs depends on multiple other factors like activity levels, growth rate, alternative food intake, climatic conditions, etc. Please have a bowl of clean fresh water always available for your pets."
