On the surface, puppyhood is an assortment of adorable moments – from those high-energy zoomies to the cuddly naps and irresistible head tilts, we love watching our pups navigate the world. But when you consider things from your pup’s perspective, there’s a lot going on. They’re experiencing the whole world for the first time, while their bodies go through development and growth spurts on many different levels. A nourishing diet with the benefits of carefully chosen ingredients goes a long way in supporting your companion through this crucial time.
We got together with certified canine nutritionists to come up with a recipe that ticks all the right boxes. With Sara’s Wholesome Food Puppy Meal, you’re giving your pet a nutritious and balanced diet.
This recipe was put together to give your pup a balanced meal with the right proportions of protein, fat, and carbs. Not only do these meals fuel play sessions but they also support growth spurts. Additionally, we’ve included ingredients like blueberries and chamomile tea extract. Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants to boost your pup’s immunity. Chamomile tea extract has been added for its ability to soothe tummy troubles and its calming properties. Blueberries are also a great low-calorie treat!
Each ingredient in this dish is chosen to benefit your pup’s development. The ingredients are also locally sourced so we can cook with fresh, nutritionally-rich veggies and meats. Fresh chicken provides essential proteins for muscle development and overall growth. While sardines contain Omega 3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation. To build a stronger immune system, antioxidants from turmeric and blueberries are highly beneficial.
Drawing from the rich food traditions (that are supported by science) of our kitchens, we added special ingredients like turmeric, moringa, and ashwagandha to the Puppy Meal. Moringa supports better eyesight and the curcumin in turmeric (activated by a pinch of black pepper), has strong healing properties.
Pups are not known for strong guts (despite the fact that they seem to want to eat everything). Sara’s Wholesome Food Puppy Meal contains fermented, mashed veggies that are easier to digest. This helps to reduce instances of diarrhoea and constipation. A healthy gut sets up the rest of the body to work well so there are plenty of gut-friendly goodies including prebiotics and probiotics in this meal.
Pups can be susceptible to illnesses and at this sensitive stage of their lives, it’s especially useful to add ingredients that strengthen the immune system. Antioxidants included in this meal do just this. A healthy gut also has the advantage of supporting immunity.
This recipe addresses the specific conditions that come with being a pup. For example, in their excitement to explore the world, pups are prone to stumbling and tumbling which could lead to bruises, small cuts, or other injuries. This leads to the inflammation of various muscles. Their muscles are also stretching as they grow. Including ingredients with omega-3 fatty acids helps to reduce inflammation, supporting the healing process.
The puppy meal has been designed by canine nutritionists to support pups during this crucial developmental stage. Once pups have been weaned off their mother’s milk and transitioned to eating solids - at about 8 weeks - the Sara’s Wholesome Food Puppy Meal is packed with the right nutrients to help them grow.
Even with the right ingredients, the best puppy food needs to be cooked well to maximize its benefits. To ensure quality, these meals are cooked in small batches in our own kitchens. Fresh ingredients are slow-cooked to retain maximum nutrients.
These meals are made fresh for your pup and we want them to remain so until you can serve them. The special retort packaging method keeps the food fresh without any artificial preservatives or stabilisers. This means that your pup receives only the benefits of a nutritionally focused meal.
This food is meant for pups who are already eating solid food. Transitioning to any new food needs to be done gradually so it’s easier on the tummy. The idea is to replace some of your pup’s regular food with a portion of Sara’s Wholesome Puppy Meal. To start with, the rule of thumb is to switch out 25% of the regular food. You can gradually increase this while keeping an eye on how your pup is responding to it.
Yes, Sara’s Wholesome Puppy Food is suitable for pups of all breeds.
This depends on the age, weight and breed of your pup. Please refer to the feeding guidelines printed on the pack to help you decide.
Protein is important for muscle development and 60% of the meal consists of fresh meat to provide your pet with plenty of protein. Additionally, we’ve added ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties to soothe muscles that are always stretching and growing at this stage. This also helps to heal bruises that pups often get while exploring.
This food has been made to give your pup as much of a nutritional advantage as possible. We’ve added moringa as it’s good for the eyes and turmeric has excellent anti-inflammatory properties.
