Omega Fatty Acids
Puppies have unique nutritional needs that require them to receive an ideal combination of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins and minerals to thrive and play. Diamond skin and coat dog food for puppies offers just such an abundance of essential vitamins, minerals and omega fatty acids!
Puppies need glucosamine and chondroitin to maintain healthy joints, both of which can be found in many Diamond dog foods along with prebiotic fiber for digestive support.
As with other animals, puppies require essential fatty acids like omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid for proper development and health. Fatty acids are considered essential because the body doesn’t produce them on its own in sufficient quantity to meet requirements; essential sources include cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring or their oils as well as flaxseeds and chia seeds while omega-6 (linoleic acid) can be found in ingredients like sunflower oil and millet.
Vitamins & Minerals
Puppies need access to high levels of protein for muscle development, as well as an ideal blend of fats and carbohydrates that promote their optimal development. Most Diamond puppy food formulas deliver this diet, in addition to providing essential vitamins, minerals and DHA supplements to promote overall wellbeing.
Puppies require a strong immune system in order to ward off diseases and infections effectively, and many diamond puppy foods contain components that strengthen it, such as antioxidants and vitamin C.
Most Diamond puppy food is highly digestible, enabling puppies to easily access all the nutrition they require. Furthermore, its probiotics and prebiotics support digestive health in young pups. To ensure your pup receives optimal amounts of nutrition from each bite they consume, always follow the feeding guidelines on the packaging based on weight and age to prevent overfeeding and potential health issues. Ideally, gradually transition your puppy onto their new formula over 7-10 days for best results – particularly important with small breed dogs!
