The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) recommends two different nutritional profiles for dog foods; one set of recommendations applies to adult dogs, while the other applies to growing puppies and reproductively active females.

Among other differences, growing puppies require more protein and amino acids than the adults do, as well as more fat, calcium and phosphorus. Specifically, at least 22% of a puppy food’s calories should come from protein, while protein should only provide about 18% of the calories in an adult dog’s food.

Many puppy foods provide even more protein, as 22% protein is only the minimum daily requirements needed to keep a puppy healthy. More (within reason) is even better for growing pups! Accordingly, most common puppy foods draw about 30% of their calories from protein.

Additionally, most high-quality puppy foods are fortified with additional vitamins and minerals. Some even include immune-system-boosting antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids to ensure your new puppy’s brain develops properly.4..jpg
