Choosing the right food for your furry friend can be a challenging task, especially when considering their different life stages. There are lots of foods available in the market, each formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of dogs at different stages of their lives. We’ve linked a few of our selection below! 

Puppy Food: Puppies require more protein, calories, and nutrients than adult dogs for proper growth and development. It is recommended to feed puppies, puppy food until they are 1 year old or when they have reached their adult size.  

Adult Food: Once your dog reaches adult size (usually between 1-2 years old), you should transition them to adult dog food. Adult dog food contains a balanced amount of protein, fat, and carbohydrates to maintain their overall health and well-being. 

Senior Food: As dogs age, they become less active and may require fewer calories than adult dogs. Senior dog food also contains fewer calories and is higher in fiber, and easily digestible proteins. 

Transitioning Food: If you decide to change your dog’s food, you should transition to the new diet gradually in order to give your dog’s system time to adjust to the change.
