Veterinary growth diet — feed under the guidance of your veterinarian. Puppies grow fast and their nutritional needs change quickly, so portion by current body weight and expected adult size, and reweigh regularly rather than keeping the same scoop for months. Large and giant breed puppies need particular care: overfeeding energy or calcium during growth pushes them to grow too quickly and is linked to developmental joint and bone disease, so ask your veterinarian to confirm the right portion for your breed. Introduce any new food gradually over five to seven days, mixing increasing amounts into the current food, to avoid digestive upset. Very young puppies still nursing need their mother's milk or a milk replacer; this is a solid diet for weaning onwards, and kibble can be softened with warm water at the start. Fresh, clean drinking water must be available at all times. Store sealed and use within the period stated on the pack once opened.
Farmina Vet Life Growth Chicken Dry Puppy Food | 2kg & 12kg
Farmina Vet Life Growth is a veterinary diet formulated for puppies through the weaning and growth phase, built around highly digestible chicken protein. The first year does more to shape a dog's long-term health than any period that follows: this is when the skeleton mineralises, muscle lays down, and the immune system matures, and it all runs on what is in the bowl. A growth diet differs from adult food in more than calories, carrying a higher protein level for tissue building, a controlled calcium to phosphorus ratio for correct bone development, and a digestibility suited to a gut that is still learning to handle solid food. Available in 2kg and 12kg packs.
