Formulated specifically for the first stage of growth in all breeds, Puppy Starter should be introduced as the first solid food for all puppies, from 6 to 16 weeks of age, depending on the breed. Smaller breeds develop faster than larger breeds, so they transition to solid food earlier, with the transition age gradually increasing as the breed size grows, reaching a maximum of 16 weeks for breeds that will mature over 40kg. It can be offered dry or softened with a little warm water as soon as the pups begin seeking food other than their mother’s milk.
Classified as a “gentle” food, Turkey Starter contains prime turkey, lamb, mixed vegetables, vitamins, minerals, and essential oils, making it a scientifically balanced holistic food tailored to the high growth phase of puppies. The carefully selected ingredients and their balance are specifically designed to support the development of a healthy and diverse gut microbiome, which is vital for long-term health and well-being.
This food also includes kelp, yeast extracts with added beta-glucans for optimal intestinal health, and Yucca schidigera extract. Metabolizable energy is 4100 kcal/kg.
