Why dogs need packaged dog food vs home cooked dog food?

Dogs have different nutritional requirements from humans and the food you eat might be harmful to your pet! Home cooked meals, unless prepared by veterinary nutritionists, lack the basic nutrients required for the healthy growth and development of your pet. Prepared pet foods, on the other hand, offer guaranteed nutrition, palatability, digestibility, safety and convenience. In addition, they also offer diversity without loss of consistency and offer better value for money than home cooked food.

Does my puppy really need special puppy dog food?

Yes. Puppies grow very rapidly, thus need adequate calories and nutrients. They have specifically high requirements for proteins, certain amino acids (when compared to adult dogs), and need nutrients not only at specific levels, but also in the right proportions. Calcium and phosphorus are important minerals during growth, and only a specially designed food for puppy can ensure their adequate intake.Small and toy breed puppies need to be fed puppy dog food until they are 9 months old. Medium breeds need to be fed puppy dog food until they are 12 months old, large breeds until they are 18-month-old and giant breeds need to be fed puppy dog food until they are 24 months old.
