Lifewise Puppy Stage 1 – 3

Nutritionally balanced and complete food with lamb for large breed pups during weaning and first stage growth. Turkey with Australian lamb and vegetables for large breed puppies as their first solid food.

Formulated specifically for first stage growth in all breeds, Puppy Starter should be used as the first solid food for all pups through to 6 to 16 weeks of age depending on the breed of dog. Small breeds develop quicker than larger breeds, so they transition at the early age. The transition age progressively increasing as the breed size increases to a maximum of 16 weeks for breeds with an eventual mature weight in excess of 40kg. It can be offered dry, or softened with a little warm water as soon as the pups start looking for additional food other than mother’s milk. Classified as a “gentle” food, Turkey Starter includes prime turkey, lamb and mixed vegetables, vitamins, minerals and essential oils which makes this a scientifically balanced holistic food specifically for all pups during that initial high growth rate stage of their development. The ingredient selection and balance is also specifically designed to encourage the development of a robust and diverse gut microbiome, an essential element for long term health and wellbeing.

This food also contains kelp, yeast extracts with added beta glucans for optimum intestinal health, plus Yucca schidigera extract.

STAGE 2: THE TIME FROM FIRST STAGE TRANSITION TO MATURE HEIGHT

Nutritionally balanced and complete food with vegetables for all pups during second stage growth. Lamb with ocean fish, rice and vegetables for all puppies from 1st stage transition to full height.

Australian premium lamb with freshly caught wild ocean fish plus mixed vegetables, vitamins, minerals and essential oils. Scientifically balanced holistic food for all growing pups enjoying second stage growth which is the time from first stage transition to mature height. It is during this critical stage that most of the bone and muscle development occurs, and the unique nutrient ratios ensure all requirements for this body building phase are satisfied, thus allowing the full expression of the genetic potential of the animal. Designed to be fed as the sole food for the entire growth and development period of the pup, the food also contains kelp, yeast extracts with added beta-glucans for optimum intestinal health, plus Yucca schidigera extract.

STAGE 3: THE FINISHING OFF GROWTH

Nutritionally balanced and complete food with lamb for all pups during third stage growth. Turkey with Australian lamb and vegetables for all puppies from full height to maturity.

Mature height is the approximate half way point in the growth and development of puppies. Third stage growth is the finishing off growth that occurs over the same length of time as it took to achieve mature height. Manufactured with these developmental requirements in mind, this food contains prime turkey and mixed vegetables, vitamins, minerals and essential oils, making this a scientifically balanced holistic food. This concentrated, high profile diet is designed to not only remove any limitations to growth and maturity of pups, but specifically nurtures a robust gut microbiome, an essential development if metabolic syndrome disorders in later life (such as skin and gut sensitivities) are to be avoided. This food also contains kelp, yeast extracts with added beta glucans for optimum intestinal health, plus Yucca schidigera extract.
