Puppy Nutrition: The Journey of Your Puppy's Diet
Feeding your puppy a nutritionally complete diet tailored to their specific needs is crucial for their healthy development. Puppies undergo intense growth, and their dietary needs change as they move towards adulthood. At one month, puppies can start to be gradually weaned from their mother’s milk onto solid food.
Between two to four months, the focus is on supporting the development of your puppy’s skeletal structure. From four to seven months, your puppy starts to build its body mass and needs plenty of high-quality protein. As puppies approach adulthood, they still need extra nutritional support for their joints, especially larger breeds. Puppies have different nutritional needs according to their breed and eventual adult size
A puppy should be given up to four meals a day in the weeks following weaning. The number of meals will vary depending on age, starting with four meals a day before transitioning to three and then to two at mid-growth. It's important to always give your puppy food in the same bowl, in the same place, to teach good eating habits. When changing your puppy's diet, it's important to transition slowly.
