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.

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

Feeding instructions

🍽️ Barošanas ieteikumi

  • Porciju daudzums atkarīgs no šķirnes, aktivitātes un vielmaiņas.

  • Kucēnus iesakām barot vairākas reizes dienā.

  • Vienmēr nodrošiniet svaigu, tīru ūdeni.

Lūdzu ņemiet vērā, ka katram sunim ir individuālas īpašības, kā arī vielmaiņa, un viņa barošanas īpatnības būs atbilstošas  viņa šķirnei, videi, kā arī dzīvnieka aktivitātes līmenim un vecumam. 

Mēs iesakām (rekomendējam) izmantot šo tabulu kā sākotnēju vadlīniju (ceļvedi), un pēc tam uzraugot sava suņa svaru attiecīgi pielāgot dienas devu. Mēs iesakām barot kucēnus vairākas  reizes dienā. 

🔥 PAGATAVOŠANAS TEMPERATŪRA

Pagatavots tikai 82°C — zemā temperatūrā, lai saglabātu vairāk uzturvielu un dabīgu garšu.

  • Free-range ducks

    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

    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.
