*Note:

When feeding puppies, I feed 4 times a day until 3 months and then reduce to 3 times a day. I leave food down for the puppies while they are sharing a dish, once they are being fed separately, I begin picking dish up when finished but no longer than 20 minutes in order to develop a good habit of eating when food is presented.
For adolescent and adult dogs I divide the amounts above into two feedings. I leave food down for no longer than 20 minutes. This teaches a dog to eat when the food is placed before them. If you find that your dogs is gaining weight, cut down on the total amount fed per meal. Some dogs require less food to stay in condition. Leaner is better!

I suggest using Solid Gold's Scorbate as the Vitamin C source
When making any changes to diet, start slow, phase in the new as you phase out the old. You may find that your dog may have some loose stools at first, understand that this is just the body's method of throwing off toxins. Too much vitamin C can also result in loose stools, decrease until stools are firm... .and hold at that amount.

I also feed Folic Acid to my bitches and Vitamin E to my males.
