What to feed a puppy?

When it comes to feeding puppies, there are a lot of factors to consider:

Puppy Nutrition

Puppies need complete and balanced puppy food specially formulated for nutrient requirements of growing puppies. Feeding puppies a complete and balanced puppy food ensures they get the proper nutrition to develop and grow into healthy adult dogs. Majority of homemade diets suffer from nutritional inadequacies in terms of energy, protein and minerals.

Puppy foods are formulated with a balance of nutrients to help puppies grow up healthy and happy. Look for protein-rich formulas to support their growing muscles. Carbohydrates supply the energy active and playful puppies need, while calcium supports developing teeth and bones and DHA helps support healthy brain and vision development.

Puppy Breed Size:

Your puppy’s nutritional needs differ from those of adult dogs & even humans and even vary with breed sizes. This is why it is important for you to choose food made specific to the breed size to ensure right growth & development.
