Description
The start your puppy deserves. Premium nutrition for healthy growth and stable development.
ESSENTIAL THE BEGINNING is a grain-free, super-premium dry food specially formulated for puppies and young dogs that will reach 15 kg as adults. It is specifically designed to provide complete nutrition during the growth period – for both physical development and emotional balance.
As expected from ESSENTIALS, this recipe contains 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 nutrition for a puppy 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 developed 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 can concentrate and learn 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 all puppies from 3 weeks of age (initially soaked into a porridge),
-
for bitches before birth and during lactation to provide energy and strength.
Tip: Suitable for all puppies from approximately 3 weeks of age. Prepare the food by soaking it in boiled, slightly cooled water to create a porridge. Introduce puppies to the food gradually.
Recommendation for breeders: Also feed the bitch with THE BEGINNING until the puppies are 6-8 weeks old. You can also feed the bitch the food before the puppies are born to ensure the necessary energy and strength for birth.
❤️ ESSENTIAL THE BEGINNING – so your puppy's life starts in the best possible way.
Tastes excellent. Develops a healthy, strong and balanced puppy.
🍽️ Feeding recommendations
-
Portion size depends on breed, activity, and metabolism.
-
We recommend feeding puppies several times a day.
-
Always provide fresh, clean water.
Please note that each dog has individual characteristics and metabolism, and their feeding peculiarities will correspond to their breed, environment, as well as the animal's activity level and age.
We recommend using this table as an initial guideline, and then monitoring your dog's weight to adjust the daily dose accordingly. We recommend feeding puppies several times a day.

It is very important to always remember that fresh and clean water should be easily accessible to your four-legged pet.
🍼 First package? Important to know!
When transitioning to ESSENTIALS food, it is recommended to do so gradually over 4-7 days, or transition immediately – choose the method most convenient for you.
