Due to the high protein/fat percentage and the hypoallergenic/grain-free recipe, BF® Lamb & Rice, Sensitive mini, or Adult mini can also offer a solution for puppies that are sensitive or picky. For young dogs of larger breeds, BF®Petfood Active HE is a good option due to the larger size and high protein/fat percentage, provided the dog is not hypersensitive to a higher calcium content.

Puppy kibble nutrition:
- You can start feeding the puppy kibble from 3 weeks of age.
- For medium and large breeds, normal puppy kibble may become too small after a while.
- For medium-sized dogs, one can switch from puppy or high-energy kibble to normal adult kibble, such as adult crunchy and lamb rice, around 9-11 months.
- For large dogs, one can switch to adult food such as giant after puppy and then high-energy food around 9-11 months. This is a guideline. You may deviate from this depending on the age, activity, condition, and performance of your dog.
-Feed with your eyes. The amounts in the feeding schedule can be used as a guideline, depending on the age, activity, condition, and performance of your dog. The mentioned amounts should be given per day. Divide the amount over 3 to 5 meals. Always ensure sufficient fresh drinking water.
-The growth of a puppy can be divided into two phases. The first phase is that of rapid growth. Your puppy now needs a lot of energy. When he is about half-grown, the second phase begins. This is a phase of more moderate growth. The energy requirement then gradually decreases until your dog is an adult and has the energy requirement of an adult dog.
The duration of the two phases varies per breed. Small breeds, such as the Yorkshire terrier, are fully grown at an age of 6 to 9 months. Very large breeds, such as the Great Dane, are not fully grown until an age of 18 to 24 months. Especially for large breeds, it is important to grow out slowly in the second phase, so that bone and joint problems are prevented. Should your puppy(ies) have diarrhea problems due to their sensitive gastrointestinal tract, which is still developing, we recommend temporarily feeding BF®Petfood Meat Nutrition or BF®Petfood 3in1 biscuits (in addition).

*Gestation period: increase the amount of food in the 7th week by 10%, and in the 8th and 9th week by 20%. Lactation period: increase the amount of food by 50%, divided over 3 to 4 portions.
