Feeding your puppy the right type of food in their early months is so important, but with lots of different food options available, it can be difficult to know which is best for them. At this stage in their life, your puppy will be growing quickly, building strong bones, developing their immune system and learning all about the world around them. Choosing a premium puppy food that supports their early growth and development is so important, and don’t forget to take into consideration their small, sensitive stomachs too.
In this post, we have explored why you need to choose the right food for your puppy in more detail, highlighting the importance of easily digestible food. If you’re looking for some premium dry puppy food, we have also explained how Clinivet’s pet food range provides everything your new four-legged friend needs at the start of their life.
Why Puppy Food Needs Should be Easily Digestible
During the early stages of life, your puppy’s digestive system is still developing. This means they might struggle to break down certain ingredients, which can lead to stomach discomfort, poor nutrient absorption and even digestive upset, like diarrhoea and vomiting. Easily digestible puppy food will help them get all the nutrients they need for a healthy start in life. It supports:
- Strength for growth
- Energy levels for play
- Immune development
- Organ function
- Healthy stools
Ultimately, when dog food is easier to digest, more of the nutrients will make it into your puppy’s system instead of being wasted, supporting early growth and development.
How Clinivet’s Premium Puppy Food Supports Growth and Development
At Clinivet, our puppy food range is carefully formulated to support your dog from the inside out. We use high-quality ingredients and avoid common allergens that contribute to digestive upsets like wheat, beef, lamb and soya products. Here’s how our premium dog food can give your puppy the start it needs for a long and healthy life.
High in Digestible Protein
Our premium dry puppy food contains a minimum of 47% chicken, which is a lean, protein-rich ingredient that’s both nutritious and easy to digest. It’s also made with 24% brown rice, which is a gentle carbohydrate that’s highly digestible, providing a steady source of energy without overwhelming your puppy’s gut.
Gentle on Sensitive Tummies
We know that young dogs can have sensitive stomachs and at this early stage, you might not know if your puppy has any allergies. Our food for puppies is naturally hypoallergenic and free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. By avoiding common allergens, we reduce the risk of health issues like digestive discomfort, itchy skin and dry coats.
Prebiotics for Gut Health
A healthy gut is important for puppies, helping to improve nutrient absorption, support immunity, prevent indigestion and reduce the likelihood of colitis. Our premium dry puppy food is enriched with prebiotics like fructo-oligosaccharides and mono-oligosaccharides to promote the growth of friendly bacteria in the gut and support the absorption of nutrients like calcium and magnesium.
Balanced Diet for Growth
To grow into strong, healthy adult dogs, puppies need to be fed a balanced diet with essential vitamins and minerals. These nutrients are essential for the development of bones and teeth, as well as supporting metabolic functions in the body. Our premium puppy food has high protein content to help build lean muscle mass, which is particularly important for active puppies. Natural sugars like Glucosamine sulphate, chondroitin sulphate and MSM are also included to help protect growing joints and bones, and support long-term mobility.
Supporting Early Brain Development
Our premium puppy food doesn’t just support physical growth, it also aids cognitive development and it’s formulated to be rich in essential fatty acids, like Omega-3 and Omega-6. These nutrients play a key role in brain function and behaviour, helping your puppy learn, train and grow with confidence in their early years.

There are a few factors that will impact which type of dog food is right for your new puppy, including their size and breed. For this reason, at Clinivet, we provide a few different food options in our puppy food range;
