Dog Food For Small Breed Dogs (up to 20 lbs. at adulthood) From 2 to 10 Months of Age During its first months of life, the MINI puppy experiences exceptionally fast growth. Its diet must therefore completely satisfy several requirements. FAST GROWTH FORMULA Meet the Intensive Growth Requirements of the Small Breed Puppy Most of the growth of a small breed dog occurs in the first 6 months of life. On average, it gains 20 grams per day and after 10 months it has multiplied its birth weight by 20 times. Its food must therefore supply all the energy needed for this fast development. High fat and protein contents from chicken to ensure an optimal energy supply. A balanced calcium and phosphorus content for building a solid skeleton and healthy teeth. DIGESTIVE SAFETY Provide for the Digestive Sensitivity of the Small Breed Baby Dog The digestive capacities of the baby dog slowly develop with age. A baby dog’s ability to digest starch is only 5 – 10 % of the adult dog. Up to the age of three months, the digestion of the small breed baby dog is still delicate: a highly digestible food rich in proteins may help to prevent the appearance of disorders such as diarrhea. A unique combination of ingredients of mineral and vegetable origin (Chicory and Beet Pulp extracts), and a reduced starch level (less than 26%) coming purely from Rice may help to ensure maximum digestive safety. IMMUNITY SUPPORT Complement the Fragile Immune System of the Small Breed Puppy Puppies like to wander and chew everything they find. In doing so, they put their recently acquired immune system at risk. Mannan Oligosaccharides (yeast extracts) may help to build the puppy’s natural defenses by increasing the quantity of antibodies in a period of immune fragility and can help to promote the development of beneficial intestinal flora. Food may be served right from the bag or moistened with warm water, if desired. Always remember to provide your pet with clean, fresh water at all times. For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.
