The start your puppy deserves. Premium nutrition for healthy growth and stable development.

ESSENTIAL THE BEGINNING is a grain-free, super-premium dry food created specifically for puppies and young dogs that will grow to 15 kg . It is specially formulated to provide complete nutrition during the growth period - for both physical development and emotional balance.

As you would expect from ESSENTIALS, this recipe uses only the highest quality ingredients and carefully balanced nutrition.

🌟 Why choose ESSENTIAL THE BEGINNING?

🥩 90% meat and fish – high-quality protein for strong growth

The food contains chicken and duck meat, salmon, trout and fresh eggs – exactly what is needed for muscle development, a healthy skeleton and strong immunity.

🌿 Grain-free – easily digestible and suitable for sensitive puppies

Choosing the right diet during puppyhood is especially important. This food is 100% grain-free, which reduces the risk of allergies and digestive problems.

🧠 BOF principle – emotional balance and stable behavior

ESSENTIALS food is designed according to the Behavioral Optimizing Foods (BOF) principle, which ensures stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
The result is a calmer, more balanced puppy that concentrates and learns commands more easily.

🍠 Valuable ingredients for health and development

Sweet potatoes, flaxseed, alfalfa sprouts, berries, seaweed, spinach, and green tea provide antioxidants, fiber, and natural immune support.

🐕 Perfect choice for breeders and new owners

THE BEGINNING is recommended for:

  • for all puppies from 3 weeks of age (first soaked in porridge),

  • for bitches before giving birth and during lactation to provide energy and strength.

Tip - Suitable for all puppies from around 3 weeks of age. Prepare the food by soaking in boiled, slightly cooled water to form a porridge. Introduce the food to puppies gradually.

Recommendation for breeders - feed THE BEGINNING to your bitch until the puppies are 6-8 weeks old. You can also feed the food to your bitch before the puppies are born to provide the necessary energy and strength for childbirth.

🍽️ Nutrition recommendations

  • The amount of servings depends on the breed, activity level and metabolism.

  • We recommend feeding puppies several times a day.

  • Always provide fresh, clean water .

Please note that each dog has individual characteristics, as well as metabolism, and their feeding habits will be appropriate for their breed, environment, as well as the animal's activity level and age.

We recommend using this table as an initial guideline and then adjusting the daily dose accordingly by monitoring your dog's weight. We recommend feeding puppies once a day.

It is very important to always remember to keep fresh and clean water within easy reach of your four-legged friend.

🍼 First package? Important to know!

When switching to ESSENTIALS food, it is recommended to do it gradually over 4–7 days , or switch all at once – choose the method that is most comfortable for you.

Start with ~10% smaller portion than before and gradually adjust according to your puppy's needs.
If bowel movements are normal and your puppy is satisfied, you have found the ideal portion.

    Certified farm-raised ducks in the UK. These free-range ducks are raised with great attention to duck welfare.

  • Free-range chickens

    Free-range chickens are responsibly raised on farms in the UK. Chicken is a dietary source of protein, rich in essential amino acids. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins and iron.

  • Scottish salmon

    Responsibly farmed Atlantic Scottish salmon. A unique source of Omega-3 (DHA and EPA). Naturally rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. All three sources of Omega-3 are included in ESSENTIALS: ALA, DHA and EPA.

  • Trout

    Trout, mainly sourced in the United Kingdom, is a natural source of omega 3 essential fatty acids.

    Prebiotics are compounds in food that induce the growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. The most common example is in the gastrointestinal tract, where prebiotics can change the composition of organisms in the gut microbiome. In ESSENTIALS, we include mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and alfalfa.

Manufacturer's Letter on Essential Foods Food Color

From time to time, the color of Essential Foods dry food kibble may change, but this does not affect the quality of the food. The color variation is due to the fact that we use natural ingredients in the production of food that are grown in different climates and continents. Feed raw materials are affected by seasonality and life cycle processes. For example, fish caught in the first half of the season will be fatter and may have a different color than fish caught in the second half of the season.

In addition, the color of the food is also affected by the cooking method. Even a small increase in steam during cooking can significantly affect the color of the food. We often use an additional 1-5% steam during the cooking process to achieve the desired density of the grains, which sometimes makes them darker.

We pride ourselves on not using artificial colours in any of our products, however, due to this natural process, the colour of the grains may vary from time to time. Sometimes the colour difference is minimal, but sometimes it is quite noticeable.

We hope this information helps you understand the occasional variation in the color of Essential Foods food. If you have any additional questions, we will be happy to answer them.
