Large breed puppies
Dogs, especially during the growth phase, should be given the highest quality food to allow them to develop properly. You will not find allergenic substances such as peas, gluten or pesticides in Baltica foods. We invite you to read our short guide on how to take care of your dog's nutrition during this important period and how Baltica can support you in all this.
What should we know about feeding a puppy?
A young dog has much higher nutritional requirements than an adult dog. Therefore, only products suited to their age should be used.
Puppy food provides young dogs with all the necessary nutrients. It is important that portions are appropriate to your dog's age and that you do not overfeed him, as the way in which you shape your pet's habits will have a direct impact on how he functions in the future.
Particular attention should be paid to ensuring that the food contains the correct amount of calcium and phosphorus to support bone growth and development.
Dogs reach adulthood at different ages. The use of puppy food should therefore be considered on a case-by-case basis.
What is the best food for a large breed puppy?
Baltica has a range of several foods recommended during the growth phase for large breed puppies. These include:
Baltica Puppy&Junior Losos with Duck: is a perfectly balanced super premium food dedicated to medium and large breed puppies from 4 weeks to 18 months of age. This grain-free recipe is based on delicious duck and salmon meat with pumpkin and currant. The optimum amount of easily digestible, hypoallergenic protein with a high biological value, the high content of unsaturated fatty acids and the addition of holistic ingredients make this food an ideal menu for young dogs with increased nutritional requirements during growth and development.
And for dogs with sensitive digestive tracts, we recommend our bestseller Baltica Puppy&Junior Hypoallergenic, which is a perfectly balanced, grain-free super premium food dedicated to medium and large breed puppies from 4 weeks to 18 months of age. The recipe is based on hypoallergenic meat and salmon oil to minimise the risk of allergic reactions due to the exclusion of potential allergens such as chicken, beef, soya, peas, rice, maize, wheat and gluten. It is also important to ensure that your dog receives appropriate supplementation after growth. For more on the properties of natural supplements for adult dogs, read here.
