Shop for Quality Food

Your puppy’s body is growing in critical ways which is why you’ll need to select a food that’s formulated especially for puppies as opposed to adult dogs. We recommend a high-protein (over 27%), small pebble puppy chow with a chicken, lamb, or meat based protein instead of grain. Small and medium-sized breeds can make the leap to adult dog food between nine and 12 months of age. Large breed dogs should stick with puppy kibbles until they reach two years old. Make sure your puppy has fresh and abundant water available at all times.
