Puppies have special nutritional needs because they are in a growth stage during which teeth, bones and muscles are formed.

Puppy food should be easily digestible and balanced, and also contain a large amount of proteins, microelements and vitamins.

A dog's appearance, physical strength and health depend greatly on its breed and genetics.

It's hard to argue with genetics, but it is possible to choose food that will improve your dog's health.

What experienced dog breeders advise

In premium and super premium class feeds, 1/5 consists of proteins. Therefore, it is important to follow the feeding standards indicated on the packaging.

It is also important to separate therapeutic food from everyday food – the second option is suitable for a healthy and active animal.
