Dog Food For Medium Breed Puppies That Will Reach 20 to 55 lbs. at Adulthood It takes 12 months for a Medium-sized puppy to reach adult weight. This crucial growth stage requires a very high-energy food, that takes into account the underdeveloped digestive ability. OPTIMUM GROWTH Meeting the Needs of Rapidly Growing Puppies The growth stage of puppies ends at about twelve months. In its first year of life a puppy increases its body weight by 40 to 50 times. It therefore needs twice as much energy as an adult dog to satisfy this intensive metabolic activity. Optimal calcium levels are critical, since both deficiency and excess can have adverse effects, for skeletal development, which is not completed before the age of 12 months. Medium Puppy 32™ contains a high level of protein (32%) and provides optimal energy (4244 kcal/kg) to meet your puppy's high nutritional requirements. DIGESTIVE SAFETY Supporting the Puppy's Delicate Digestive System After weaning, the puppy's digestive system is not yet fully developed. It therefore has a reduced digestive capacity, making it more delicate than an adult dog, especially if it is confronted with parasitic infestations or stress, or if it tends to eat everything it finds. Medium Puppy 32™ ensures maximum digestive safety through highly digestible protein sources (Chicken), reduced starch levels (25%), and FOS and Beet Pulp which nourish the intestinal flora. OPTIMUM BONE GROWTH Ensuring Proper Bone Growth and Healthy Teeth During the first 12 months, your puppy's bones grow and mineralize. This is also the time when the final set of teeth erupt. The proper intake of both calcium and phosphorus are critical at this stage. Medium Puppy 32™ is perfectly formulated to provide the right levels of calcium and phosphorus to ensure proper bone growth and healthy teeth. A SPECIFIC COMPOSITION TO HELP BUILD THE PUPPY'S NATURAL DEFENSES Between the ages of 4 and 12 weeks a puppy goes through a crucial period known as the "immunity gap". The immunity acquired from its mother in the first milk (colostrums) gradually decreases while the puppy's own defenses are not yet fully developed. Its own immune system is not fully functional until around the age of 15 months, after it has had its vaccination boosters. IMMUNITY BOOSTER includes: A patented synergetic complex of antioxidants (vitamins E and C, taurine, lutein) to strengthen the immune defense system Mannan-oligosaccharides to stimulate the production of antibodies in the intestinal mucous membrane and limit the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestine Fructo-oligosaccharides for a balanced intestinal flora Essential fatty acids for a healthy coat and skin and for their anti-inflammatory effect on the intestinal mucous membrane Vitamins A and biotin for skin cell growth Chelated zinc for healing and scar formation Calorie Content This product contains 4244 kilocalories/kilogram or 412 kilocalories per cup ME (metabolizable energy) on an as fed basis (calculated). 100% Complete and Balanced Nutrition for Your Medium Breed Puppy Canine Health Nutrition MEDIUM Puppy 32™ Formula for Medium Breed Puppies from 2 to 12 months of age is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth.
