Essential Small Size The Beginning - 2.5kg

ESSENTIAL the BEGINNING is our special food for puppies & juniors, who as adults will weigh up to a maximum of 15 kg. 

As you can and should always expect from us, only top-quality ingredients are used. 

TIP We recommend serving THE BEGINNING up to the age of 10-12 months and you should then switch to one of our adult meals from our range.

The BEGINNING is GRAIN-FREE and follows our BOF principle.

Important! Puppies that will weigh more than 15 kg as adults must begin on the BEGINNING LARGE BREED from 8 weeks of age. 

For breeders: For all puppies from about 3 weeks of age. Soak the meals in boiled, slightly cooled water to make porridge, and introduce gradually. Serve the BEGINNING to the bitch until the pups are 6-8 weeks. Can also be served before giving birth for extra energy/strength.

This 3kg bag is a smaller kibble

 IS THIS YOUR FIRST BAG OF ESSENTIALS? 

With the first bag of ESSENTIALS comes a nutritional lifestyle change. Gradually phase in ESSENTIALS over 4-7 days, or make the change from one day to the next which works equally well. The most important point is to adjust daily portions to suit your pet. Overfeeding will result in softer stools. We therefore advise that you spend the first 2-3 weeks identifying the correct portion size. When your pet’s stools are solid, and your pet feels satisfied, you have found the correct portion size. All you have to do now is enjoy all the benefits of ESSENTIALS. 

Start by feeding your pet 10% less than usual and adjusting from there.
