W = weeks old.
Please note: The amount of food should be gradually increased every 2–3 days to weekly until the amount recommended for the next age band is reached. As the dog approaches its final weight, the energy requirement drops off and the amount of food should be adjusted in line with the feeding guide. Be sure to switch to suitable adult food when the final weight is reached.
General feeding guide: Weigh puppies regularly and record weight changes. The amounts shown are simply for guidance. Your dog’s individual needs will depend on age, breed, activity and whether he lives indoors or out. Therefore, it may be necessary to adjust the amount of feed individually. Do not give too much to eat – make sure your pet does not grow too fast. If you give snacks, reduce the amount of food accordingly. Hint: Use part of the daily food ration as a snack substitute. Give the food dry or add warm water (roughly 60°C) and leave to soak briefly. Split the daily food ration between several meals (3–4). Make sure that fresh drinking water is available at all times.

Resistant starch, psyllium and methylcellulose: a dog microbiome comparison

One study, 1 reviewed ingredient or arm connection(s).

Psyllium; arm psyllium-husk

Declared occurrence: psyllium husks. Tested preparation: Psyllium husk supplement; dose and detailed preparation not reported in the reviewed abstract.. Population: 17 healthy dogs transitioned to the same complete food..

Study dose: Not reported in the reviewed abstract. Supplement amount and feeding basis not reported.. Duration: Not reported in the reviewed abstract.. Comparator: Measurements before and after each supplement, with washouts..

Measured outcome: Faecal scores, clinical indices, and bacterial sequencing.. Finding within this study: Psyllium had minor taxonomic effects in this small study; the abstract does not establish a clinical benefit.

Applicability and limitations: Small healthy population. Sequencing results cannot establish clinical benefit or harm; findings concern the tested fibre preparations. Applies only to published UK dog products whose active formulation has a verified Psyllium profile line and dog species. The ProDog Raw Digest UK declaration lists psyllium husk. This is ingredient-level context from a different tested preparation, not evidence that this finished product has the same effect. Preparation equivalence is not established by this declaration. Product inclusion quantity is not declared. A declared ingredient amount does not establish intake of the study dose. The formulation declaration is disputed or awaits label verification.
