The specially-tailored recipe supports the health of pregnant dogs and their puppies. It can contribute to strong bodily defences and promotes a balanced microbiome - the vital basis for good development in early growth phases.

The approx. 1cm large kibble pieces can be soaked in water and turned into a soft mash. This is ideal for supporting food changes and weaning from mother's milk to solid foods.

To increase acceptance at mealtimes, it can be beneficial to combine wet and dry food. Crunchy kibble and tender chunks bring more variety and appeal to your dog's every meal.
