Puppy Nutrition in Redcar
Feeding your puppy a complete and balanced diet is essential for healthy growth and development. A complete diet provides the right mix of nutrients and calories to help your puppy stay healthy and maintain an ideal weight.
As your dog grows, make sure you’re feeding the appropriate life stage diet. For example, senior dogs are usually less active and therefore need fewer calories to maintain a healthy weight.
Puppies should stay on a puppy-specific diet until around twelve months old, while large-breed dogs should remain on one until about eighteen months. Always feed the correct portion for your dog’s weight to help prevent obesity.
Why a Healthy Weight Matters
Maintaining a healthy weight is vital for your dog’s overall wellbeing. Obesity can lead to several serious health issues, including:
-
A shortened life expectancy (by up to two years)
-
Joint problems
-
Cardiovascular disease
-
Respiratory disease
-
Diabetes
To help keep your pet at a healthy weight, we offer free Weight Clinics with our Registered Veterinary Nurses. These are available for all dogs — not just those who are overweight — and provide tailored diet and lifestyle advice to support long-term health.
