Feeding Instructions for Optimal Performance
Providing the correct amount of food is essential for maintaining your dog’s health and energy levels. The Pride 24/20 Endurance Formula offers daily feeding guidelines based on your dog’s size and weight.
Daily Feeding Directions
| Breed Size | Body Weight (lbs) | Amount to Feed (cup) |
|---|---|---|
| SMALL | 13 – 25 lbs | 1/3 – 1 Cups |
| MEDIUM | 26 – 50 lbs | 1 – 2 Cups |
| LARGE | 51 – 100 lbs | 2 – 4 Cups |
| EXTRA LARGE | 100 lbs Plus | 4 – 8 Cups + 1/2 Cup per 10 lbs over 100 lbs |
Amounts are based on a standard 8 oz. measuring cup. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available.
Adult Feeding
The Pride 24/20 Endurance Formula can be fed either dry or moistened. To moisten, mix 1 cup of water with 4 cups of dry dog food. Adjust the feeding amount based on your dog’s individual activity level and size. Consistent access to clean, fresh water in a separate bowl is crucial.
Puppy Nutrition
Puppies can begin transitioning to solid food around 3-4 weeks of age. For younger puppies (up to 8 weeks), moisten the food with warm water to soften it. After 8 weeks, you can gradually mix water with the food or feed it dry. Offer puppies free-choice feeding, providing all the moistened food they can consume within a thirty-minute period to maintain freshness. If fed dry, the food can be left available at all times. Once your puppy reaches one year of age, transition to the adult feeding instructions.
Pregnancy and Nursing Support
The Pride 24/20 Endurance Formula provides the elevated nutrition required by reproducing females throughout gestation and lactation. It’s important to monitor food consumption during pregnancy, adjusting the amount to maintain a healthy body condition. During lactation, a female dog’s food intake may double or even quadruple to meet the demands of nursing her litter. Consulting with your veterinarian is always recommended to tailor feeding plans to your specific dog’s needs, especially during critical life stages.
