Puppy Raw Food Recipe - Chicken & Salmon
Deciding what to feed your puppy can be a daunting task, with so many strong opinions coming at you from every direction: the breeder, your vet, the pet shop, the internet, your friends and family… it can be overwhelming!
Which is why our pet nutritionist has created our Puppy Homemade & Raw Feeding Recipe ebook and program
Puppies have different nutritional needs to adult dogs, because they are going through such important growth and developmental stages.
Puppies require more protein and fat than adult dogs, but these increased requirements are met with ease when we choose a species-appropriate diet.
They also require more calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, sodium,
manganese, zinc, selenium, some fatty acids and all of the essential amino acids.
Some of these nutrients also have reduced upper limits – namely calcium and phosphorus – which is to ensure bone growth is slow and steady for long term skeletal health.
All of these factors have been carefully considered and our recipes have been developed in line with the recommendations set out by the AAFCO nutritional standards for growth in dogs, using a range of deeply nutritious and easily digested whole foods.
Chicken & Salmon Puppy Recipe
This recipe is from our puppy recipe book and it features three different cuts of chicken to make the most of this affordable and accessible protein, combined with the anti-inflammatory healthy fats found in salmon.
Salmon is a protein rich oily fish that contains lots of vitamin D for healthy bone development and omega 3 fatty acids for brain and immune system health.
Turkey necks provide dental and mental health benefits, while also ensuring your puppy’s important calcium and phosphorus requirements are met.
Zucchini, carrot, apple and chia seeds all offer fibre for digestive health benefits, as well as the protective benefits of antioxidants and phytonutrients.
Wheatgrass powder and wheatgerm oil are incredibly nutrient dense parts of the young wheat plant, but are completely gluten free.
