The food you feed your puppy in his first few months of his life is going to make all the difference. If you want to be certain that he is going to grow into a strong and healthy adult dog, you need to make sure that the food you give him contains the correct balance of essential nutrients and vitamins – which is exactly what the PEDIGREE® PUPPY range provides.

 

Dry nutrition for puppies

PEDIGREE® PUPPY (1 – 12 months)

PEDIGREE® PUPPY is designed for all types of puppies and their variety of feeding needs. All puppies are different and they have small growing mouths, so it’s important to address all feeding concerns. Firstly, PEDIGREE® PUPPY dry food is easier to soften with warm water for puppies needing a softer meal. Secondly, PEDIGREE® PUPPY dry food has been designed to be easy to chew with smaller kibbles, so when feeding dry you know your puppy will be able to chew their food comfortably. PEDIGREE® PUPPY also has a palatability of over 80%, meaning your dog will find the food highly enjoyable. PEDIGREE® PUPPY now contains new nutritious PEDIGREE MILKY KIBBLES for strong bones and teeth.

  • 100% COMPLETE NUTRITION - Nutritionally complete and balanced for the total development and enjoyment for your puppy.
  • STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM – Vitamin C, Vitamin E and selenium to support natural defences and boost the immune system.
  • STRONG TEETH AND BONES - A balance of calcium and phosphorus for healthy teeth and bones.

  • Small ribbed kibbles designed for specific needs of a puppy.
  • HEALTHY DIGESTION – Prebiotics to promote healthy digestion.

PEDIGREE® PUPPY is endorsed by Waltham – the world’s leading authority on pet food.
The feeding requirement of puppies will vary depending on their age, breed and activity level. We recommend the use of the feeding guide below.

Leave the recommended amount for 15 minutes and then remove any uneaten food. Serve fresh food at the next meal.
