Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Every \npuppy is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please \nuse this information as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed. Dry and wet food in \ncombination will help to increase the level of water in your dog’s diet. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry \namount by 1\/2 cup for every 6 oz of wet food. Pregnant or nursing females may consume two or three \n\ntimes the recommended amount per day. \n \nTransitioning: Gradually mix in the new food over 7-10 days, increasing the amount of Merrick Lil’ Plates \nGrain Free Puppy Real Chicken + Sweet Potato Recipe each day. This gradual transition will help avoid \ndietary upsets. \n \nFor your pet’s health, see your veterinarian regularly. \nCalorie Content (calculated)(ME): \n3827 kcal\/kg \n488 kcal\/cup\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.merrickpetcare.com\/sites\/default\/files\/2024-04\/2984-B298423_Merrick_Lil_Plates_Grain_Free_Puppy_Real_Chicken_Sweet_Potato_Recipe_Dog_Food.pdf\"\u003eManufacturer nutrition and feeding label\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merrick","offers":[{"title":"4-lb bag","offer_id":67774383849724,"sku":"295745","price":26.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12-lb bag","offer_id":67774383882492,"sku":"295748","price":59.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2125\/2915\/files\/merrick-2026-merrick-106-primary.png?v=1792555059","url":"https:\/\/azpetfoods.com\/products\/lil-plates-grain-free-puppy-chicken-sweet-potato-dry-dog-food","provider":"AZ Pet Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
