Featured Dog Q&A

How much should I feed my 25 pound 12 week old black Labrador Retriever puppy?

Dr. Horwitz, a Veterinarian says:
It is important to manage growth so that is occurs at a steady rate and that the puppy has the correct nutrition to support bone and muscle development. A Labrador Retreiver puppy will be a large dog and should be on a large breed puppy formula diet such as Purina ONE Large Breed puppy Formula. At 12 weeks the puppy should be offered 3/4's to one and a third cups of food a day spread over 2-3 meals. As the puppy grows, the amount of food provided should increase being careful not to over feed the puppy.

Featured Cat Q&A

My cat is approx.11 years old. What is the difference between Purina ONE Vibrant Maturity 7+ Senior Formula and the Indoor Advantage for Adult Cat - Hairball & Healthy Weight Formula. He is an only indoor cat, but has dry skin. Which would be more beneficial for him? Thanks.

Purina ONE Vibrant Maturity 7+ Senior Formula is specially formulated with older cats in mind. It contains a natural source of glucosamine for healthy joints and omega fatty acids and vitamin E for healthy skin and coat. The latter may be important for you. Purina ONE Indoor Advantage Hairball and Healthy Weight formula would be better if your cat was overweight or had an issue with hairballs.
