Puppy food: find the right diet

When you decide to bring a dog into your life, it can be challenging right away to figure out the best way to care for and train them—for example, when it comes to their diet. You need to pay them a great deal of attention, almost as much as you do for yourself, or perhaps even more, since they have a more delicate digestive system and are prone to serious health issues. It is very important to choose the right diet for your dog, opting for nutrient-rich foods and avoiding table scraps or harmful foods. Especially when it comes to choosing the right food for your puppy, you need to pay close attention, because it ensures they get everything essential for their health and growth and prevents the early onset of conditions closely linked to nutritional deficiencies.

Why proper nutrition is essential for a puppy

“You are what you eat,” said Feuerbach, but our dog is also what he eats. His diet is extremely important and will shape his growth and physical development. An improper diet can, over time, lead to energy imbalances and physical problems in adulthood, such as being overweight or obese. Food is fuel for their bodies, and if it’s of poor quality, your puppy will suffer the consequences in the future.

But up to what age do we consider a dog to be a puppy?

A dog is considered a puppy as long as its physical and behavioral development is ongoing. In general, small-breed dogs complete their growth around one year of age, while large-breed dogs can still be considered puppies up to twenty-four months of age. Knowing a dog’s size is very important for determining the appropriate puppy diet so that meals can be properly portioned throughout the day. There is nothing we wouldn’t do for our four-legged friend, which is why Alleva designed several specific pet food lines for your puppies, based on their size and your needs. The raw ingredients are carefully selected according to very strict quality standards.

All the food lines suitable for your puppy

The Equilibrium line, with its products made with fresh meat, rice, fruits, and vegetables, may be the perfect solution for your puppy. It contains moderate levels of protein and fat, and starch sources such as rice are selected for their high digestibility and rapid release of energy.

The Natural line , on the other hand, has been formulated with the highest quality animal-based protein and fat sources to ensure palatability, a more concentrated protein content, and longer-lasting energy thanks to the inclusion of moderate amounts of starch and low-glycemic-index ingredients.

Finally, for your puppies, you can choose the Holistic line, which is grain-free, high in protein from fresh and dehydrated meat of excellent quality, with reduced starch content and very high levels of nutritional supplements.
