Product Information

Our bundle features the Cheese Fondue Advent Calendar and Luxury Christmas Gift Box together (which will save you some pennies compared to buying separately). Many breeders will send you and your pup home with a bag of the food they have been weaned on to. This can be great if you are planning on offering the same diet, but what if you’re not? Importantly, continue the original food in the short-term to prevent a stomach upset. We then want to gradually change over to the puppy food of our choice. This diet change may take up to 7 days and should only be started once puppy has settled in. Do I have to choose between wet and dry dog food?” we hear you cry - and we get it - we like to have the best of both worlds, too. Small kibble size, this is in relation to dry food as puppies need smaller bite sized pieces which are easier for them to chew and swallow

Small breeds weigh less than 10kg at maturity and take somewhat longer to develop and fill out than their toy breed peers. This is why we continue to feed more until they are about six months of age. After this, their calorie requirements only dip slightly. As with toy breeds, owners tend to want to ‘over-feed’ these dogs. Consider weighing out the portions suggested by the puppy feeding guide. Pooch & Mutt offer both a wet and dry puppy food, both of which are junk-free and meet all of your little one’s needs. Puppy food is an excellent source of nutrition for growing puppies who are developing at a rapid rate. They need a large amount of calories to ensure they mature appropriately. They also have a high demand for minerals such as Calcium and Phosphorous as their skeleton grows. So, puppy food is more calorie dense and contains a different ratio of vitamins and minerals than adult food does.At the same time, not providing all of the food our dog needs can be detrimental. Without the calories they need, your dog may not have the energy they need to play, learn and develop important life skills. Under-weight dogs may find it hard to build muscle and are more prone to dehydration, hypothermia and hypoglycaemia when unwell. Under-feeding also puts your pup at risk of developing nutritional deficiencies. Your choice for your dog’s diet is a very personal one, and should be based on you and your dog’s habits and lifestyle. Whatever you choose, rest assured that Pooch & Mutt’s complete range of wet dog food and dry food for dogs contains a well-balanced variety of nutrients, vitamins and minerals to keep them as healthy as can be - it’s grain free, and it tastes great, too.

If you’ve heated refrigerated wet dog food to raise it to room temperature, do NOT refrigerate after this; simply throw the leftovers away.

High protein is a must for your dog’s daily diet, and their natural ingredients are free from artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives – a healthier meal choice for your pup. There are a number of ways to feed your dog a raw food diet - you can prepare the various foods yourself, or some specialist dog food brands offer raw food in more accessible formats (such as freeze-dried) to allow for easier access plus safer storage and consumption.We want to avoid them being over-weight as this puts too much pressure on their joints and may affect their breathing, especially if they are a brachycephalic breed. Those who are over-weight when young are much more likely to become obese adults. For a dog who exercises a lot but forgets to drink, a poorly dog or an old dog, a wet food with more water content could be a better option than dry food. Age-related digestibility of nutrients depending on the moisture content in aged dogs’, 2021 - National Library of Medicine Fish is an excellent source of nutrients and provides benefits for healthy skin & coat, joint care and a strong immune system. Not only do dogs love the smell and taste, but fish is an easily digestible protein source low in fat, which makes it a great choice for those with ongoing digestive issues such as pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel disease. This fish recipe contains only 2% fat (9% dry matter) with 9% protein (43% dry matter) which is great for providing nutrients whilst ensuring the dog's digestive tract is not over worked. So what about the perks of dry dog food? Here are some of the reasons to choose dry food for your dog…

Many veterinary experts have discouraged dog owners from feeding raw food to their dogs ( 2), as it could be considered riskier when it comes to contamination and safety. Pooch & Mutt hope to provide British dog owners with a healthy alternative to some of the big-name dog food brands that you find at your local supermarket. Often, these traditional types of dog food can contain mystery ingredients and fillers in their food. Feeding a high-quality, nutritious puppy food is essential for your little one’s growth and development. Here at Pooch & Mutt, we have both a wet food and dry food specifically tailored to your puppy’s needs. You can choose to offer one or the other, or to opt for mix feeding. Puppy feeding charts should be seen as a useful tool that all owners can use. While they may seem complicated at first glance, they are straightforward to use. Let’s take a closer look at our puppy’s needs in relation to their breed (weight) and age:Small dogs require more calories per pound of body weight. Their energy reserve does not last as long as that of larger breeds. This is why it can be useful to feed smaller dogs more regularly when they are puppies and adults.
