BABY DOG
- Puppy during
before neutering
growth
and
"Puppies have an absolute requirement for balanced growth,
particularly in terms of energy, protein and minerals. At this
stage the digestive system is delicate and the immune
system immature."
INDICATIONS
 Puppy, from weaning to peak growth according to size of breed:
 Small breeds: from weaning to 5 months
 Medium breeds: from weaning to 6 months
 Large breeds: from weaning to 7 months
 Giant breeds: from weaning to 8 months
 Pregnant bitch
 Lactating bitch
CONTRA-INDICATIONS
 Chronic kidney failure
 Chronic liver failure
 Pancreatic failure
 Dog with reduced calorie needs
INGREDIENTS
Dehydrated meat (poultry and fish), cooked cereals, animal fats and fish oil, maize
proteins, cooked soybeans, beet pulp, linseed, powdered egg, purified clay, sea salt,
fructo-oligosaccharides, yeast, yeast betaglucan, lacobacilli, minerals, trace elements
and vitamins. With anti-oxidants: EC additives.
NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
 High energy density satisfies the needs of a growing puppy, of a pregnant or
lactating bitch, and allows the ration volume to meet their limited ingestion
capacity.
 High protein contribution and their high quality, satisfy the special needs of
a phase of intense development (bones, muscle, nervous tissue). Because of
its high protein/calorie ration (PCR), this food is suitable for all breeds of
puppies.
 The low starch content guarantees good digestive tolerance in puppies
changing from a milk diet to a solid and varied diet.
 Richness in essential fatty acids optimises the development of the nervous
system, boosts the immune system and contributes to a healthy skin and a
shiny coat.
 Optimal, balanced mineral content fosters the growth of bones and the
formation of teeth.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Brain development – DHA (fish oil)
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid from the family of omega 3 EFAs) is vital to the
constitution of nervous cells and of photoreceptor cells of the retina, and their proper
functioning. Giving a breeding bitch DHA supplements guarantees optimal brain
development in fetuses and/or newborn puppies.
Reinforced immunity – Yeast betaglucan
Betaglucan is extracted from the walls of brewer's yeast which is known to stimulate
the immune system. In puppies, it promotes the acquisition of defence mechanisms,
increases vaccine response, enhances resistance to diseases, and thus contributes
to overall balanced growth.
Stimulated digestion – Lactobacilli + Purified clay + Fructo-oligosaccharides
Lactobacilli stimulate the growth of defensive acid-producing bacteria in the gut which
help reinforce local immunity and help prevent or combat diarrhoea.
Clay protects digestive mucosa, helps curb inflammation and infection, and
standardizes the consistency of stools.
Fructo-oligosaccharides promote the balanced development of digestive bacteria and
also contribute to the integrity of the gut lining.
FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
Puppy
During weaning, ensure food is easily available in an accessible container. Giving
the same food to mother and puppies simplifies this phase. During the first week, the
food can be moistened with warm water.
Before the age of 3 months, the food should be fed on demand.
From the age of 3 months, divide the daily ration preferably into several small meals,
following the recommendations given on the bag.
Breeding bitch
Switch over to the new food as soon as the bitch comes on heat. Divide the daily
ration preferably into two meals.
While puppies are suckling, and until the queen returns to ideal weight, the food can
be fed on demand.
