*Free Shipping on orders over €100!! The perfect step between milk and solid food. At the request of many dog breeders who raise their puppies with BELCANDO, we have developed BELCANDO Puppy Granula-Start, a special product for the first steps towards eating on their own. Using a special process, this variety is “granulated” to a specific size fraction. This creates extra-small kibbles that can easily be mixed with BELCANDO puppy milk or water to form a porridge, or lightly combined with meat. Thanks to the sauce effect, a particularly tasty gravy coating forms when warm liquid is added. After a short familiarisation period, the granules can also be fed dry. They taste familiar from the very first bite and help puppies transition smoothly through weaning. Ratio of animal protein to total protein: 80% (Poultry 60%, Fish 15%, Gelatine 5%) Our Vital Components PROVITAL Strengthens your dog’s immune system with cell wall components (beta-glucans) from natural yeast. PROAGIL Promotes the formation of cartilage in the joints and helps to prevent joint problems with gelatin hydrolysate.

Feeding recommendation Complete food for dogs. For puppies of all breeds during the weaning phase. The fine texture of BELCANDO Puppy Granula-Start makes the initial transition to solid food easier for puppies during the weaning phase. When you gently mix 2-3 parts BELCANDO Puppy Granula-Start with 1 part warm (40-50 °C) water, an especially tasty gravy forms over the food particles. This stimulates the puppies to accept solid food. Later you can also feed the puppies BELCANDO Puppy Granula-Start dry as needed. Average quantities for feeding puppies are listed separately in the table. The correct feeding quantity is best determined by regularly checking the dog’s weight. Fresh drinking water should be available at all times.
