Puppy dog food and ESSENTIALS
The finest test a puppy dog food brand can pass is by composing puppy food in a way that gives the puppy the best possible nutritional start to life. Especially large races can face serious problems if their food is not composed correctly. More than anything else, we are proud of having helped thousands of large puppies on their way in the world with PERFECT results. Because we work directly with so many breeders, we know more than most about what is needed and what works. That is why ESSENTIALS puppy food is the safe and obvious choice.
Best in test puppy food
The best test is to see where most serious breeders look when choosing the best puppy food. Disregarding those who focus most on the price of puppy food, ESSENTIALS is one of the most used and recognised dog food for puppies. This is because we don’t compromise at all and because of our 20 years of experience of helping puppies to have the best possible start in life.
Puppy food from three to eight weeks
In this period, the puppy is still together with its mother and the breeder. You should never take a puppy from its mother before it is eight weeks old at the least. Earlier than this would be a clear sign of a breeder with a completely different agenda than enriching the world with beautiful and lovely souls with four legs.
From three to seven weeks ESSENTIALS the BEGINNING is softened with boiled and then slightly cooled water. Boiling water should never be added to the puppy food as this would destroy the vitamins. If you do not boil the water and then wait until it is slightly cooled, you will not achieve the right consistency in the puppy food. You can prepare the puppy food one day at a time and put it in the fridge.
From the seventh week, you should give puppy food in higher amounts straight from the bag. Yum yum! In the eighth week, you should consider whether the puppy will weigh more or less than 15kg in adulthood.
Under 15kg means you should continue with the BEGINNING puppy food. Over 15kg means you should switch to the BEGINNING LARGE BREED puppy food. If you are in doubt, typically about a race weighing between 13 and 17 kg, you should choose the BEGINNING LARGE BREED.
Puppy food for small dogs
Don’t mistake size for personality! At ESSENTIALS we are wild about all puppies. That’s why we have also made a special puppy food for small puppies while they grow. ESSENTIAL FOODS the BEGINNING is a puppy food designed particularly for small dogs until they are 10 to 12 months old.
Small dogs have particular needs while growing in contrast to when they are fully grown. (The biggest and probably the most profitable myth is that adult dogs need various dog foods, simply because of their size. Think logically for a minute and you will realise this is something invented in a marketing department and not based on what the dog needs.)
Puppy foods for small dogs should be based on their growth curve. Because this is different to that of large breeds, a puppy food with a certain higher amount of protein and fat is called for. When choosing puppy food for small dogs, we stress that is should be free of corn and contain many different sources of protein, both to prevent any allergic symptoms later on in life. Obviously, we have taken this into account in our dig food for puppies.
Puppy food for large races
Here you should never make a compromise. Use only puppy food from a supplier with a clear attitude and experience in avoiding growing pains. Far too many large puppy races have over time been given the wrong puppy food. When we talk about puppy food for large races, the obvious choice is BEGINNING LARGE BREED as it has been tested over the years by more than 10,000 puppies. We have never heard about ANY problem AT ALL relating to nutrition. That’s for sure! We are not a cheap dog food brand. We can and do deliver the result that everyone wants – a perfect upbringing using the best puppy food.
Changing from a puppy food brand to ESSENTIALS dog food for puppies
As a rule, this will be a good idea as ESSENTIALS really does offer top-quality dog food for puppies. The practical way to switch is over a period of four to seven days.
Here it is also important to underline the fact that when you use puppy food from ESSENTIALS you always have access to our advisors on 075 0000 6358 and at service@essentialfoodsgb.co.uk. Whether you are the proud parent of a mix or a breed dog, we have the knowledge, willingness and competence to give your dog the perfect start in life.
