Tailored Nutrition for Newborn Puppies and Nursing Mothers

Newborn puppies have unique nutritional requirements to support their developing senses and nervous systems. Feeding growing puppies can be strenuous, taking a toll on your small dog’s metabolism. During the critical weaning period, both your dog and her nursing puppies need a tailored diet to meet their unique nutritional needs.

### Key Benefits

**Supports Developing Senses and Nervous Systems**

-   Newborn puppies benefit from a diet specifically designed to support their rapidly developing senses and nervous systems.

**Tailored for Small Adult Dogs and Puppies**

-   This formula is suitable for small adult dogs weighing up to 10 kg and weaning puppies up to 2 months old.

**High Energy Needs**

-   Adapted to meet the high energy needs of small dogs at the end of gestation and during lactation, ensuring both mother and puppies stay healthy and strong.

**Healthy Development**

-   Enriched with omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) to support healthy brain development in young puppies.
-   Contains vitamins C and E to boost natural defences and support overall health.

**Optimal Digestion**

-   Beneficial prebiotics (such as MOS) and highly digestible proteins support a healthy balance of intestinal microbiota (gut flora), ensuring good digestion.
