Weaning from three weeks
At three to four weeks puppies start tasting solid food, but their mother's milk is still the basis of their diet. At this age dry food is soaked in warm water to a mush and given in small amounts several times a day. Gradually the water is reduced, and by weaning the puppies eat kibble. It is convenient that the mother and puppies can eat the same food.
Food for pregnant and nursing dogs
In the second half of pregnancy and especially during lactation, a female dog's energy needs rise sharply. An energy-dense puppy food helps her keep her weight and feed the litter. The portion is increased gradually and agreed with the vet, and after weaning she is switched back to adult food.
Large-breed puppies
Growing too fast is dangerous for large puppies: extra calories strain the joints. A food with 18% fat is fairly energy-dense, so such puppies are kept lean and not overfed. Calcium is not added on top of a complete food. More on feeding by age in what to feed a puppy: diet by age.
How much and how to feed
The amount on the pack depends on age and the expected adult weight. Small puppies are fed 4–5 times a day, and by six months 3 times. Weigh your puppy weekly and review the portion. Count training treats in the daily allowance — kibble from the ration works well too.
How to store a 10 kg bag
After opening, close the bag tightly or portion the food into a container. Keep it in a dry, cool place. If you have one small-breed puppy, a 10 kg bag may last half a year — in that case a smaller pack is better. Tips are in how to store dry food.
Moving to adult food
When your puppy grows up, switch it to an adult formula gradually. For medium and large dogs Grandorf offers, for example, Grandorf Lamb & Turkey Medium & Maxi with the same proteins. The switching plan is in how to switch your pet to a new food.
Who it suits
The food suits breeders, owners of large puppies and anyone who needs a chicken-free diet from the first weeks of life. A list of puppy essentials is in a puppy at home: shopping list, and other foods are in the dry puppy food section.
Verdict
Grandorf Puppy Lamb & Turkey is a low-grain food for puppies from three weeks and for nursing dogs: 70% lamb and turkey, 29% protein, 18% fat, and no chicken, peas, wheat or artificial additives. The downsides are the missing full ingredient list, calcium and phosphorus, the unnamed cereal, and a 10 kg bag that is too big for one small puppy.
