Puppies need special food to support their increased need for energy, calcium and other nutrients during growth. Feeding your pup a high quality puppy food in their first year of life will set them up for a healthy life. Look for premium diets based on scientific research and development from brands including Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin and Advance.
Science based puppy foods are rigorously tested to ensure safety, quality, nutritional soundness, palatability and digestibility. The end result is food that tastes great, is gentle on your pup's tummy and delivers everything they need to grow and thrive.
The most convenient and economical means of feeding your dog is with dry food which also has the advantage of helping keep your puppies teeth clean through chewing and reducing the incidence of dental disease. Many owners like to offer a little wet food as a treat or to aid hydration.
Royal Canin and Advance have a range of breed specific puppy foods, with diets formulated specially for the needs of popular breeds including Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Pugs.
