Atleast a year...they are really good for your dog. You need a code to order use 18050. Best success w your new pup.

I think there is an expiration date on the bottle. The dosage depends on the size of your dog; small breeds are only 1/2 tab, larger breeds will use more. I've provided all my dogs with these vitamins, and I have very healtlhy dogs.

I buy these in bulk and they last a long time, Also note these are the best pills you can give your animals, but with a puppy they might go potty more, I took my puppy off until she became a year old. because I noticed her potty more in the house, once I took her off I was able to train her better.

I bought a 6lb bag. It had more than 50 I'd say, lasted more than a month. I was giving my dog 1 1/2 a day.

If not, next time I order them I'll post the info. I know my Corgi loves them and the Wellness products are good quality ingredients. I always check those.

The last jar we ordered has an Expiration Date of 06/2016. At this point, we are giving our 50 pound dog 2 heaping scoops a day, which is about 2/3 of the recommended dose, and we use a jar about every 2 months. He is also taking Azodyl (a probiotic, also available on Amazon) and Benazepril, a prescription medication. We are also giving a liter of sub-q lactated ringers every 3 days. He was in kidney failure 6 months ago, but he's holding steady. Going strong with a great appetite. We would do anything we can to him around as long as he enjoys living, and we do feel that this product is helping a great deal. The last jar we ordered has an Expiration Date of 06/2016.

I put 1-2 drops per day on 2 larger dogs during tick season. I would guess 1 bottle lasts roughly 1 month.

I leave them out 5-6 at a time all the time for my shih tzu. As long as they stay dry they have lasted for weeks. They are freeze dried - key is keep them dry. Normal home humidity that you would be comfortable seems to be ok. Keep a bowl of water handy. After eating 4-5 at a time my dog always goes for a drink to wash them down. Great natural food made in USA free of any dangerous chemicals that are found in treats made in China. (melamine poisoning) Come well package I purchase a case at a time. Made in Wisconsin.

I have no idea what the shelf life is. I just buy about a 2 month supply at a time. Check the expiration date on the package.

for puppies. Most dog food bags say right on the back. How many cups a day, you should feed your puppy, according to the puppies weight and age in months,,,,,,,, however, with Merrick's the protein is so high and due to the high quality of the food. Most of the nutrients will get absorbed in to the dog, rather than being extracted and still not processed as food though the dogs digestive system, and will just be wasted as stool,,,, so in other words, you can feed the dog a little less then they recommend,,,,, I have an eight-year-old German Shepherd,,, she is not very active, and she eats about 3 to 4 cups a day,,, and a cup is 8 ounces,,,,, I hope this helps. Good luck with your new dog,,, for puppies. Most dog food bags say right on the back.

Good shelf life. Once opened, keep refrigerated and use up the contents within 3 days for freshest meal. Otherwise, store in a plastic baggie and freeze it short term. My dog took to this dog food (I mix 2tblspns with drymix) very well. Bowel movements are good/firm-normal.

I agree. This price increase is ridiculous. The front desk at my vet told me the company was bought out. They actually stopped delivering them to market until they could update the packaging. I wonder if the price increase is due to short supply. Whatever the reason, I can't afford double the price.

Sorry I did not reply sooner. On Nov 8th and thereafter was out of state. Since that have also been ill and dog has been ill. Did not mean to be rude. I have wondered the same question about expiration recently and I have to call Arthur Andrews Pharmaceutical to ask them. Wish I could help you more.

I have no idea.....I know that these are not good for a puppy because they tend to chock on the product.....once over 5 months old I used them for training my Norwich and they worked excellent!! Since I have bought 8 bags of these there has been no ill effects!!

I think about 15 -I'll have to count when my order comes in. However, they are easy to break into bite sized pieces (they're about 9" long) and my dogs love them so much that they'll settle for a snippet. I got several emails from Rocco and a free bag of liver treats for liking their product so much. Granted, the treats are not cheap, but it's worth a try I think, depending on what your dog(s)' situation is.

I don't think these are formulated for puppies. A ten week old is a baby and probably recently weaned. They are good treats, but wait a few more weeks! The ASPCA advises that treats make up no more than 5% of the puppies nutrient intake. A toy dog like a chihuahua will mature more quickly than a larger breed, but check with a trusted source before giving anything other than puppy food. When you do decide to offer these, they are soft and you could easily break or cut them up. My dog loves them.

I'm sorry, I throw away the bottles themselves because I keep the capsules in a canister, so I do not have an exact ingredient list to give you. I called them to verify that their were no animal proteins, and they were extremely helpful. The doseage for dogs 50-100lbs is 3 capsules daily for 1-2 months, then 1-2 capsules daily for maintenance. You can find more info on their website: www.nutramaxlabs.com You can find dosing info there, and the active ingredients/strengths. Just be aware the capsules themselves (not the powder inside) contain animal proteins, in case that is a problem for your dog, so you would have to just empty the capsules into the food. Best of luck!

Not sure why, may be a pricing error as I only paid $4 for mine. They are ok . I don't think they fair and better/worse than the more expensive ones when they are $4. At $14, seems pretty steep of a price. Might as well go to your local pet store and probably pay $10-12 and have right away.

Each bottle contains 32 fl. oz. The recommended dosage (as indicated on the label) for a dog weighing between 25-49 lbs. is 2 teaspoons in the morning and 1 teaspoon in the evening, for a total of 1/2 oz. per day. So, in your case a bottle should last 64 days or just over 2 months.
