The puppy phase varies from breed to breed. It ends when the dog completely stops being suckled. This, of course, does not happen abruptly, but slowly with decreasing production of breast milk. During this time, supplementary feeding must be given continuously to accustom the puppy to solid food. Puppies, as long as they are not sleeping, are enormously active. Compared to an adult dog, they therefore need about twice as much energy (based on body weight). Their stomachs are still very small and sensitive. To avoid overstretching, which can lead to later obesity, small portions should be fed several times a day.

Puppy - Complete Food
Food has a decisive influence on the maintenance of health. The right choice of food, in turn, depends on the level of education and the initiative of the dog lover. With its nutritional program for puppies, Wolfsblut offers a complete food that

- is an ideal source of energy,
- contains a unique combination of medicinal plants from forests and meadows and
- is a taste classic,
- is easily digestible with small pieces of food, with meat from
- natural origin,
- contains no grain,
- is free of sugar, soy, bleaching agents, vitamin K3, odor, color or flavor enhancers and artificial preservatives and
- is recommended for allergy sufferers.

Ideal energy source
The puppy needs a lot of energy for growth and physical activities. However, a lot of protein does not automatically mean a lot of energy. Only the balanced ratio of protein and fat creates the required energy density. With natural ingredients, duck meat and duck fat of food quality, our food achieves the optimal energy density for puppies.

Food-grade duck meat contains
- B vitamins (B1, B2, B6 and B12), which, among other things, have a great influence on metabolism and the nervous system,
- zinc, which, among other things, accelerates wound healing and strengthens the immune system,
- iron, which, among other things, is very important for the oxygen supply of the body,
- copper, which, among other things, is important for the formation of red blood pigment and iron metabolism and
- protein, of very high quality, among other things, for muscle building.
- Food-grade duck fat contains vitamins A, D, E and is a good source of omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, which have a positive effect on skin and coat.

A unique combination of medicinal plants from forests and meadows
At Healthfood24, we see the nutritional needs of today's dogs in connection with their wolf ancestors. Their diet did not only consist of meat and fish. Forests and steppes have provided valuable healthy fruits, herbs and roots since ancient times, which have always been among the important food sources of our dogs' ancestors. In WILD DUCK dry food, we have combined the original nutritional spectrum of canine ancestors with the needs of today's dogs by combining the benefits of meat with a unique combination of medicinal plants from forests and meadows and other health-promoting ingredients.


It should also be noted at this point that the fruits and herbs used in WILD DUCK dry dog food (duck) are contained in an optimally utilizable amount, which is often only in the milligram range.

The rule for all natural herbs is: LESS IS MORE!

A taste classic:
The spicy and very aromatic taste of duck meat with potatoes makes WILD DUCK dry food a true taste classic.

Easily digestible with small pieces of food:
The high metabolism and low digestive capacity of puppies require easily digestible small pieces of food. The composition of WILD DUCK makes the dry food an easily digestible meal. This also includes natural ingredients such as:

- Probiotic FOS (also fructooligosaccharides), which is also added to baby food, influences a healthy intestinal flora by fighting bad/pathogenic bacteria that populate the intestine.
- Flavor-neutral thyme promotes the digestive process naturally.

We have chosen the size and consistency of the food pieces so that they can be easily absorbed and do not cause a feeling of fullness.

Natural origin
The duck meat used in our WILD DUCK dry food comes from species-appropriate animal husbandry. It is therefore naturally much healthier than meat from animals raised in factory farming.

No grain
Those who know us know that Wolfsblut dog food varieties are grain-free. Dogs are carnivores, which is why Wolfsblut dog food varieties are based on animal protein, without added grain.

What our dog food does not contain
WILD DUCK dry food not only contains no grain, it is also free of sugar, soy, bleaching agents, vitamin K3, odor, color or flavor enhancers and artificial preservatives.
