Adopting a puppy is one of life's most exciting and rewarding experiences. But along with the excitement comes a lot of questions, especially when it comes to nutrition. What and how much should a puppy eat? Here is a practical and curious guide for those who already have a four-legged friend or are thinking of getting one.

Puppy feeding: a question of size and need

Puppies are not just ‘smaller dogs’: they have specific nutritional needs. To grow healthy and strong, they need a diet rich in energy, protein and balanced nutrients. But beware: your puppy's size makes all the difference!

Small puppies: like Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers, they have a faster metabolism and require more frequent meals with suitable kibbles, such as the Farmina Puppy Mini line.
Medium-sized puppies: think of Beagle or Labrador, which need balanced portions in energy and nutrients and calcium and phosphorus to support bone growth, available in the Farmina Puppy Medium line.
How much does a puppy dog eat?

The amount of food varies depending on several factors, including your puppy's weight, age and activity level. The good news is that Farmina makes life easier for you: on the product pages you will find a handy ration table that tells you exactly how much kibble or wet food to feed your puppy.

For example:

A 3 kg puppy might need about 100-120 g of kibble per day, divided into 3-4 meals.
A 15 kg puppy might require up to 250 g per day.
Following these guidelines is essential to avoid over- or underfeeding.

Protein and taste: satisfy even the most demanding palates
Every puppy has its own taste, and Farmina knows this. The range of feeds offers different variants of protein, such as chicken, lamb or fish, to meet the tastes of your little friend and respect any food sensitivities.

High quality proteins: essential for muscle development.
Natural ingredients: for healthy digestion and a glossy coat.

Be careful not to confuse Puppy and Adult
A common mistake is to think that an adult dog food is also good for puppies. Wrong! Recipes for puppies are designed to be more energetic and balanced than those for adult dogs. Using an unsuitable food can lead to nutritional deficiencies or digestive problems.
