Aside from being adorable bundles of furry fun, puppies grow rapidly; learning about the world while their bodies develop demands a lot of energy. As such, puppies require good quality food to aid their growth and development through the maturation process. Nutrition is of crucial importance during the early stages of a dog’s life. Feeding a diet that supports healthy steady growth and development will ensure your puppy matures with all the foundation nutrients required to thrive.
A diet of fresh, natural food made with real ingredients, akin to what they might reasonably be expected to eat in the wild, consisting of meat, offal, bone, and vegetables, is the best choice for dogs of all ages. The positive effects of feeding dogs a BARF (biologically appropriate raw food) diet speak for themselves: strong teeth, shiny coats, bright personalities and minimal tummy upsets are some of the signs that a puppy is getting the proper nutrition.
When puppies are adapting to solid food (check out our full “Puppy Raw Feeding & Weaning Guide” for more details), digestive issues can arise if the wrong type of food is given. Constipation or smelly, loose stools can manifest while the pup adjusts to the new food; this creates discomfort for the puppy and a less than desirable experience for the person responsible for cleaning up the waste. Because a natural, raw meat diet, is the food a dog’s digestive system has naturally evolved to consume, their bodies are far less likely to experience gastro problems than when eating other commercially processed foods.[1]

A raw food recipe for growing dogs should consist of meat, ground bone, some offal, vegetables and oils –precisely the same ingredients as adult dogs, but with a slightly lower vegetation content to provide more protein for growth and development. Less offal is also recommended as a puppy’s digestive system is still developing, and offal can be a little rich for some. ProDog’s Puppy Formula is specially created using the ideal ratios of all these ingredients and blended using a finer mince and ground bone to provide complete nutrition that is perfectly suited for small teeth and jaws.
ProDog raw puppy food formulas (part of our raw dog food range) are designed specifically for growing pups. As complete meal recipes, there are no additions required. An easy and convenient way to provide your puppy with a ‘BARF’ diet, we ensure our meals do not include grains, fillers or any ingredient that is not supportive of the canine digestive system, simply fresh, ethically sourced, British ingredients from DEFRA approved local farms; meaning all our meat comes from human-quality production sources, operating with the best welfare practices and, wherever possible, the livestock is pasture reared.
Suitable for pups from 8 weeks to 24 weeks, the combination of ingredients is selected to deliver complete nutrition to support healthy growth. Containing a minimum of 75% meat, we use only the best, human-quality fresh meat, an abundant source of the quality protein necessary for growth, development and vitality. Other ingredients include 10 % ground bone, highly beneficial to the digestive system and an additional source of protein, diverse minerals and healthy fats.
Our ‘with offal’ options contain a minimum of 5% offal, rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Plus, for added micronutrient support, all puppy meals incorporate 9.3% seasonal vegetables, 0.2% kelp – a superfood seaweed rich in protein and minerals and 0.5% Scottish salmon oil – rich in healthful omega-3 fatty acids.
Our puppy formula varies to our adult Complete range; it is produced with a finer mince, easier on smaller teeth and jaws. Also, this meal range contains less offal, more meat and fewer vegetables; the ratio of ingredients is chosen to promote healthy growth in young dogs. The puppy range comes in 500g and 1kg tubs and is offered in 15kg and 25kg bundles.
