What is important to know about puppy nutrition
Puppies grow quickly and require up to 2 times more calories than adult dogs of the same weight. The food should contain a minimum of 22-32% protein, increased levels of calcium and phosphorus, DHA for brain development. Manufacturers divide their lines according to the size of an adult dog:
- Mini (up to 10 kg) - small granules, increased calorie density, feeding up to 12 months
- Medium (10-25 kg) - medium granules, feeding up to 12-15 months
- Maxi/Giant (from 25 kg) - large granules, controlled calcium for joint health, feeding up to 18-24 months

The best option is 70% dry + 30% wet. Dry forms the correct bite and cleans plaque, wet provides hydration. From 4 weeks, puppies can be introduced to soaked dry food, and by 8 weeks - to solid food.
