Junior or Puppy
Grandorf also makes Grandorf Puppy All breeds Lamb & Turkey for puppies of all breeds. Junior Medium & Maxi is designed for growing dogs of medium and large breeds. These puppies grow longer than small ones, and steady growth matters. When to move from Puppy to Junior — check the pack and ask your vet.
Growing a large puppy
Large breed puppies are harmed by both underfeeding and overfeeding: gaining weight too fast loads the growing joints. So portions are chosen from the table and the puppy is weighed regularly. Tips are in what to feed a puppy by age and food for large breed dogs.
For pregnant and nursing bitches
During pregnancy and lactation a bitch needs more energy and protein. Grandorf explicitly recommends this food for such dogs: it is convenient when mother and puppies eat the same diet. The amount is increased gradually based on the dog's condition and your vet's advice.
Feeding and switching
Puppies are fed 3–4 times a day, moving to 2 meals by one year. Introduce the new food over 7–10 days, gradually mixing it with the old one. Details are in how to switch your pet to a new food.
Storage
Keep the 10 kg bag closed in a cool, dry place or pour the food into a container. More in how to store dry food.
Who it suits
The food suits puppies and juniors of medium and large breeds, puppies with sensitive digestion, and pregnant and nursing bitches. It does not suit dogs allergic to lamb or turkey. Other puppy foods are in dry puppy food.
