Canine Nutrition PRO Large Breed Starter 30/22

Dog Food from Weaning to 5 Months, 56 to 100 Pounds Ideal Adult Weight

From weaning until the age of 5 months a large breed puppy’s bones grow very quickly, reaching about 50% of its full weight during that period. They therefore need twice as much energy than a full-grown dog as well as extra calcium and phosphorus for building a strong skeleton. Balanced levels of both minerals are critical for proper bone formation.

A baby dog has difficulties in grasping kibbles that are too large or too hard. To help it grasp and eat, the kibbles should have a suitable shape and texture for size of the teeth and strength of the jaws.

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 baby dog is still delicate; a highly digestible food rich in proteins may help to prevent digestive disorders like diarrhea.

Recommended for Gestation and Lactation.

Available in 40 lb. bags.
