The food you give your puppy in the first year of its life is crucial in the development to an adult dog. The growth of the young animal is very fast, but also of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the puppy needs special, easily digestible food that contains sufficient amounts of protein and energy.
Research has shown that the nutritional needs of puppies remain substantially the same throughout the growth phase. This means that Puppy can be given throughout the entire growth phase of the puppy. The target weight of the mature animal determines the duration of the growth phase.
In the beginning, dogs mainly grow in height, wherein the skeletal development plays an important role. Afterwards, the muscles will start to develop. For large and very large dogs it is recommended to talk to the veterinarian about switching to food for adult dogs. The calcium and phosphorous levels of Puppy are adapted to support optimal bone growth. Puppy takes the rapid skeletal growth of large breed puppies into account. Here, the calcium-phosphorous ratio is of great importance.
The recommended duration of use is dependent on the age and bodyweight (see feeding table). When the puppy is reaching its adult stage, gradually switch to Adult. During the first few days, mix Adult with Puppy in increasing amounts.
