Pets 4 Life Home Raw Pet Cuisine is certified complete and balanced for all life stages by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association.
Kittens, Puppies, pregnant bitches/queens or lactating bitches or queens may require up to 10% of their body weight per day. Care should be taken with puppies to ensure that they remain lean, and this is particularly important in large or giant breed puppies. It should be easy to feel your puppy's ribs if it isn't, he might be too chubby.
Weaning
Pets 4 Life Home Raw Pet Cuisine is certified complete and balanced for all life stages by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and AAFCO.
Kittens, puppies and ferret kits can all be weaned directly on to Pets 4 Life Home Made Pet Cuisine.
Wean young animals at the age you are most comfortable doing so, and offer Home Made Pet Cuisine mixed with gently warmed whole Goat's Milk to the consistency of a thin slurry. Offer slurry to weaning young in a shallow dish, remove when young have finished eating their fill. Repeat three to five times per day.
Over the course of a week to ten days, reduce the amount of goat's milk and increase the amount of Home Made Raw Pet Cuisine until weanlings are eating entirely raw food. Feed based on your breed's recommendation, three to five times per day.
