OPTIMIZING NUTRITION

THROUGHOUT THE REPRODUCTION CYCLE

Puppies and breeding females have nutritional needs that vary with each stage of growth and reproduction. In fact, the amount of added dietary energy needed to support a mother and her puppies can range from 0% to 300% or more, depending on the reproductive stage and litter size.1

STAGE OF PRODUCTION

Still, energy is only one component of providing optimal nutrition. In addition, breeders must consider the amount and type of six nutritional classes:

1. Water
2. Protein

3. Lipids (fats)
4. Carbohydrates

5. Vitamins
6. Minerals

Look for these nutrients in a diet to support all six classes:

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to support neurological development.

Taurine to support cardiac development.

Folate (vitamin B9) to support fetal development.

Adequate levels of all six nutrient classes, which are critical to puppy development and health.
