Montego Karoo Puppy Large to Giant Breed Dry Dog Food

8 kg

A large-breed puppy has a problem a small one doesn't: her skeleton is carrying a body that gains weight faster than bone can safely mineralise. Push the growth and you get joint disease that follows her for life. Slower is genuinely better.

That's why fat here is 12.5% rather than the 14.5% in the small-breed version — it isn't a cheaper food, it's a deliberately controlled energy level. Calcium at 1.3% and phosphorus at 0.9% are set for bone forming under load, with glucosamine at 640 mg/kg and chondroitin at 330 mg/kg supporting cartilage while it develops. DHA at 0.25% covers brain and vision. She stays on this until eighteen to twenty-one months, not twelve.

Looking after it

Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. Read from the weight you expect her to reach as an adult, not what she weighs now — that's the commonest feeding mistake with a puppy. Keep her lean while she's growing; a fat puppy grows into a dog with worse joints. Limit stairs, jumping and long runs until the skeleton has set. **Do not add a calcium or growth supplement** — the balance here is deliberate and supplementing causes the skeletal disease it looks like it should prevent.

Read from the weight you expect her to reach as an adult. **Do not feed above the guide** — with a large breed, faster growth is damage rather than progress. She stays on puppy food to eighteen or twenty-one months depending on her size. Three meals a day to six months, then two.
