Eclipse Dog & Puppy is the ultimate diet for the pregnant mother, before and after birth for both mother and her pups.
For puppies, pregnant mothers and dogs requiring the highest energy diet
Masters Dog & Puppy is rich in top quality chicken and rice, and contains many other nutritious ingredients such as dried eggs. It is also wheat gluten free, which makes it suitable for dogs that suffer from certain allergies. Linseed is added as a natural conditioner to give your dog a beautiful glossy coat and supply Omega 3 & Omega 6 essential fatty acids.
Masters Dog & Puppy is specially formulated for puppies, from 3-4 weeks to 6-9 months, and pregnant mothers. It provides a high quality, concentrated and balanced diet that supplies all the nutrients needed to keep your dog in peak condition at this important time. The nutritional value and ease of digestibility makes it ideal for puppies and expectant mothers, and does not require the addition of any meat or biscuits.
Masters Dog & Puppy should be fed to the mother from 2-3 weeks prior to birth, which will ensure production of sufficient milk to satisfy the forthcoming litter without sacrificing the mother’s overall condition. By feeding the mother the same product that the puppies will be weaned onto, the puppies will be receiving the same nutrients through the milk that they will receive once weaning commences. This helps to prevent any setback at weaning.

The above feed chart is meant to be used as a guide only. All dogs are individuals and their metabolism and nutritional requirement vary. The recommended quantity should be fed over a number of feeds and if the dog has eaten all it requires, dispose of what is left. Do not reuse old food.
Add warm water and feed immediately. Alternatively, Dog & Puppy may be fed either soaked or dry.
Drinking water should always be available.
Weaning can commence at 3½ – 4 weeks of age. Eclipse Dog & Puppy should be thoroughly soaked in sufficient warm water to ensure the pellets are softened completely. A good tip is to put the next meal in to soak each time you feed your puppies. At feed time, simply drain off any excess water, mash the softened food and add a little more warm water to give it the consistency of porridge.
After approximately 7-14 days, start adding a few dry pellets on top of the bowl of food to encourage chewing. Initially, feed 4 times a day and discard any food not consumed within 30 minutes.
Change to ECLIPSE ACTIVE & GROWTH when the puppies are 6-9 months old.
