Sorry I can't help...........I started mine on 1/2 teaspoon for a week and then increased to the full teaspoon @ 12 weeks of age and 3lbs. He is now almost 9 months and 4lbs........
I recently quit the ML though (2 weeks ago).........I have nothing but good things to say about it as I Bobbi's coat looks great to me. Reason I am quitting is I am planning to try something else and see if I get similar results. If not, I can always go back to ML.
It doesn't work for everyone and opinions will vary.........many feed a tad, a sprinkle here and there, etc
My advice: Use your judgement
Here's a picture of him after his bath.......the poodle's coat looks great too
