iVet® Healthy Gourmet™ Small Breed Puppy Formula is specially designed to meet the needs of a small breed puppy during the critical periods of growth. Small breed puppies need increased levels of protein and fat to support the energy required in smaller breeds. Small breed puppies also require increased levels of calcium and phosphorus for stronger bone and muscle development to accommodate their unique growth process. iVet’s Healthy Gourmet Small Breed Puppy Formula is also recommended for dogs during pregnancy and while nursing.

The following ranges should be used as a starting point. Daily requirements can change depending on activity levels, breed, environment, etc. Supplementation not required. A seven day gradual transition is recommended when first feeding this formula.
Weaning and Growth of Puppies – For the weaning of puppies, moisten food and keep available at all times. During the growth of a puppy, maintain a regular feeding schedule using care not to overfeed.
Pregnant and Nursing Females – For pregnant females, feed according to weight until approx. 6 weeks into pregnancy. During late gestation (6 to 9 weeks), energy requirements will increase and therefore the amount of food intake should increase gradually as well. For nursing females, keep food and water available at all times as nutritional needs increase dramatically during this stage.
