Why Choose Dr John Puppy in Chicken?

Puppy owners ask: what is the best puppy food for working dog breeds? Dr John Puppy answers that with a recipe delivering 27% protein and 15% fat — significantly higher than adult formulas — to fuel rapid growth and development. The inclusion of salmon oil provides omega 3 fatty acids for brain and eye development, while FOS prebiotics and beet pulp support healthy digestion from an early age. Linseed adds further omega oils for coat condition, and yucca extract supports joint health as puppies grow.

When can I start feeding Dr John Puppy?

Dr John Puppy in Chicken can be fed from weaning upwards. For very young puppies under 2 months, feed to appetite. The feeding guide on the pack provides specific daily amounts by age and adult size from 2 months through to 8 months, at which point most working breeds can transition to an adult formula such as Dr John Gold.

When should I switch from Dr John Puppy to an adult food?

Most working and sporting breeds are ready to transition to adult food between 8 and 12 months, depending on their size. Smaller breeds mature faster — a working terrier may be ready at 8 months, while a giant breed like a Newfoundland may need puppy food for longer. When ready, transition gradually over 7–10 days to avoid digestive upset. For active adult working dogs, Dr John Gold is the natural next step, or Dr John Titanium for high-performance working dogs.

Does Dr John Puppy contain omega 3?

Yes — Dr John Puppy contains salmon oil at 1.25%, providing omega 3 fatty acids to support healthy brain and eye development in growing puppies. Linseed is also included as an additional source of omega oils to support coat condition and skin health.

Does Dr John Puppy contain prebiotics?

Yes — Dr John Puppy contains FOS (fructooligosaccharides) at 0.625% alongside beet pulp (1.9%) to support healthy digestion and a balanced gut microbiome from an early age. This is particularly important during the weaning period and the first months of life when a puppy's digestive system is still developing.

Can Dr John Puppy be fed wet or dry?

Yes — Dr John Puppy can be fed dry or with water or gravy, depending on your puppy's preference. Each pack includes full instructions on how to transition your puppy onto the food gradually.
