How to Use

• Feed according to the feeding chart provided on the product pack, taking into account the mother dog’s stage of gestation or lactation and the puppy’s age, weight, and development.
• For puppies, the food can be introduced gradually during the weaning stage. If needed, the kibble may be softened with warm water during the early transition to solid food.
• When changing from another diet, introduce Eterna gradually over several days rather than making a sudden food change.
• Always provide access to clean, fresh drinking water.

Cleaning Instructions

• Wash food and water bowls regularly with mild dish soap and clean water.
• Rinse thoroughly before refilling.
• For softened food, discard uneaten portions after feeding rather than leaving them at room temperature for extended periods.

Storage Instructions

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep the pack tightly sealed after opening or transfer the food to a clean, airtight pet-food container to help maintain freshness.

Safety Instructions

• Feed according to the manufacturer’s feeding recommendations and your dog’s body condition.
• Pregnancy, lactation, and early puppy growth have higher nutritional demands, so feeding quantities may need adjustment.
• Consult a veterinarian if the mother or puppies have medical conditions, poor growth, digestive problems, or special dietary needs.
