Growing dogs require greater amounts of protein, calories, vitamins and minerals (particularly calcium). Puppies often double their weight in a short time. Animal protein sources are best for growing dogs (beef, lamb, fish, eggs, poultry). It’s important to weigh your dog throughout the first 12 months to check if the weight is normal - you need to know the full adult weight for the breed (estimate mixed breeds). For example, if you know your dog will weigh 50 pounds when full grown, then at 6 months she should weigh 30 pounds you can adjust the diet accordingly.
