Why Choose Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Starter Puppy?

Weaning is an important developmental stage when puppies gradually transition from their mother's milk to solid food.

During this period, puppies require balanced nutrition to support rapid growth, normal digestive function and the development of healthy muscles, bones and organs.

Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Chicken & Pomegranate Starter Puppy has been specifically developed to provide complete nutrition during these early weeks.

Quality Chicken Protein for Healthy Growth

One of the standout features of this formula is its combination of 25% boneless chicken and 18% dehydrated chicken protein.

Protein provides essential amino acids required for muscle development, normal tissue growth and everyday bodily functions.

The recipe also includes dehydrated herring protein and dried eggs, contributing additional animal-derived nutrients.

With 30% crude protein, this starter food helps meet the nutritional demands of young, growing puppies.

Small Kibble Designed for Weaning

The transition from milk to solid food requires an appropriate texture and manageable kibble size.

Farmina N&D Starter Puppy features small kibble measuring approximately 5–7mm in diameter and 4–5mm in thickness.

These smaller pieces are designed for puppies learning to eat solid food.

During the initial weaning stage, the kibble can be softened with warm water to create a more manageable consistency.

As puppies become accustomed to eating independently, the amount of added water can gradually be reduced.

DHA & EPA for Brain and Vision Development

Early puppyhood is an important period for the development of the nervous system and vision.

Farmina N&D Starter Puppy contains 0.50% DHA and 0.30% EPA, Omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish ingredients.

DHA plays an important role in normal brain and retinal development.

These nutrients provide nutritional support during your puppy's early developmental stages.

Supports Healthy Bones & Teeth

Growing puppies require carefully balanced mineral levels to support normal skeletal development.

The formula contains 1.10% calcium and 0.91% phosphorus, alongside vitamin D3.

These nutrients contribute to normal bone mineralisation and healthy tooth development.

Providing appropriate feeding quantities is important to support steady, healthy growth.

Digestive Support During Weaning

Weaning introduces significant changes to a puppy's digestive routine.

Farmina N&D Starter Puppy contains several ingredients associated with normal digestive function:

• Inulin: A prebiotic fibre that supports beneficial intestinal bacteria.

• Fructo-Oligosaccharides (FOS): Prebiotic ingredients that contribute to digestive wellbeing.

• Yeast Extract: Provides a source of mannan-oligosaccharides.

• Dried Beet Pulp: Contributes dietary fibre.

These ingredients form part of a complete formula designed for puppies transitioning to solid food.

Ancestral Grains for Balanced Energy

The N&D Ancestral Grain range includes 10% spelt and 10% oats.

These selected grains provide carbohydrates to support everyday energy requirements.

Combined with animal protein and dietary fats, they help provide the nutrition growing puppies need during weaning.

Healthy Skin & Coat Development

The formula contains chicken fat and fish oil from herring, providing essential fatty acids.

With 3.40% Omega-6 and 0.90% Omega-3, the recipe contributes to normal skin function and healthy coat development.

These dietary fats also form part of the energy-rich nutritional profile required during early growth.

Joint & Cartilage Nutrition

The recipe contains chicken cartilage, a source of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate.

These nutrients are associated with normal cartilage maintenance and complement the formula's balanced mineral and protein content.

Ideal for Breeders & Growing Litters

The 2.5kg bag is a practical choice for breeders, kennels and households caring for several puppies during weaning.

A consistent starter diet can help establish an organised feeding routine while allowing each puppy's appetite and growth to be monitored.

The larger pack also provides a convenient supply during this short but important developmental stage.

Feeding Recommendations

Farmina N&D Ancestral Grain Starter Puppy is intended for puppies during weaning and up to 2 months of age.

Daily feeding quantities should be determined according to the puppy's current development, age and expected adult body weight.

For best results:

• Begin introducing solid food when puppies are developmentally ready.

• Soften the kibble with warm water during the initial weaning stage.

• Offer small, frequent meals throughout the day.

• Follow Farmina's official starter feeding chart for appropriate daily quantities.

• Introduce food gradually rather than replacing milk abruptly.

• Allow puppies to transition progressively towards eating independently.

• Always provide fresh, clean drinking water.

• Monitor each puppy's appetite, growth and stool quality.

• Keep feeding bowls and food preparation areas clean.

• Transition gradually to a suitable Puppy Mini or Puppy Medium & Maxi formula at approximately 2 months, depending on expected adult size.

• Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Keep the packaging securely closed to maintain freshness.

• Consult your veterinarian if a puppy experiences poor growth, persistent digestive upset or difficulty during weaning.

Important: This product is formulated for the early weaning period. It is not intended to replace an age-appropriate puppy growth formula throughout the remainder of puppyhood.
