The puppy phase is not only incredibly cute; it is also crucial for their development. Every part of them is growing – from their muscles and paws, to their intellect and social skills.
Your growing pup needs intensive, purposeful nutrition in their young phase of life, and their nutritional needs are very different from adult dogs’. Young dogs require extra calories that are easy absorbed and digested. They also need increased overall levels of fat (particularly the essential Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids) protein for muscle growth, and calcium for healthy bones and teeth.
Adolescent (young adult) dogs can reproduce, but they are still growing and learning physical coordination. Often energetic, these young dogs still need a high caloric intake and a proper balance of growth-supporting vitamins, fats and protein.
