What does everyone think about a good puppy food vs. all life stages like Canidae? |
Canidae is an all life stages food, so it is good for dogs of all ages
You don't have to worry about your pup getting enough nutrients if it is an all life stages food. Before I started homecooking, my maltese used to eat all life stages food, and she did not have any problems
Here is an excerpt from their website:
www.canidae.com In nature your pets couldn’t choose between a puppy, kitten, or light formulation, only a diet of mainly meats and small amounts of grain. They simply eat more or less, depending on age and activity levels. CANIDAE and FELIDAE both contain more than 50% of high quality meat proteins. We have also included digestive enzymes that closely resemble those found in nature.
Puppies will require a higher caloRic and calcium phosphorous intake than an adult dog would, therefore we suggest feeding twice as much to puppies up to 6 months of age. Our standard recommended feeding guidelines for an adult dog is 1 cup for every 25lbs of body weight. You can be assured with 468 kcal per cup, your puppy will be getting more than most standard puppy foods on the market.
