The first year is not the same as adulthood.
Puppies have fundamentally different nutritional requirements. More protein per gram of body weight. More calcium and phosphorus in the right ratio for bone development. DHA for the brain. The puppy formula is not adult food in a smaller serving - it is a different formulation for a different life stage.
Smaller portions. More often.
Puppies have smaller stomachs and faster metabolism. They need 3–4 meals per day until 6 months, then transition to 2 meals.
Portions by age and size.
| Age | Daily dry | Meals/day |
|---|---|---|
| 6–12 weeks | 40–55g | 4 |
| 3–4 months | 55–70g | 3 |
| 4–6 months | 70–80g | 3 |
| 6–12 months | 60–75g | 2 |
| Age | Daily dry | Meals/day |
|---|---|---|
| 6–12 weeks | 70–90g | 4 |
| 3–4 months | 90–120g | 3 |
| 4–6 months | 120–150g | 3 |
| 6–12 months | 140–180g | 2 |
Nothing hidden. Nothing vague.
As they grow, they'll need these.
