I used to mix it up and give it to both the bitch and give it to the pups with a bit of wheetabix to get them started around 2 weeks... Dunno if it's right or wrong just what worked for me
I used to use lamdlac for the bitch and pups up on till there weaned kept them in good order mixed with meat and nuts.. Worked fine for any I done it with
Dogs only 4 months old in the picture pal and just gone 5 months old in the other one... So hopefully hell be right for look at the end of the season and be left till the next after that
