Q3: When should I switch my puppy from this formula to an adult formula?
Ans: The feeding chart shows amounts for puppies from one to two years old. After this period, puppies can transition to an adult formula. Make the switch gradually over seven to ten days, and consult your veterinarian to determine the appropriate timing based on your puppy's breed and size.
Q4: Does this puppy food support brain and vision development?
Ans: Yes, it includes DHA from omega-rich fish oil, a nutrient aimed at supporting healthy brain and vision growth in puppies. It also contains antioxidants that help sustain a strong, developing immune system during these crucial early stages.
Q5: Is this puppy food free from corn, wheat, and soy?
Ans: Yes, the ingredient list excludes corn, wheat, and soy, offering a simpler recipe centered on real salmon, rice, and other easily digestible ingredients. This formulation is specifically designed for growing, sensitive puppies during this critical life stage.
Q6: What role does taurine play in this puppy formula?
