These guideline amounts are a starting point and your puppy may need more food depending on age, activity and temperament. In order to reach optimal body condition, you may need to adjust food intake. This chart represents the total recommended volume of food per day. You should divide the total recommended feeding amount by the number of times you feed your puppy per day to get the actual portion size per feeding.

Remember to have clean, fresh water available for your puppy at all times.

Because Iams Premium Protection is complete and balanced for Maintenance, you do not need to add vitamin or mineral supplements.

Recommended for puppies 1-12 months.

When introducing Iams Puppy Food, gradually mix it with your puppy's current food over the course of 4 days.
