Indian Spitz Diet Essentials

        Daily Requirement

  • Puppy Indian Spitz require nutrition-rich food to support their rapid growth and high energy levels.

        Frequency

  • Generally require 3-4 meals a day until they are around 6 months old, then you can gradually reduce to 2 meals a day

 Calories Required

  • Puppies generally require about twice as many calories per pound of body weight as an adult dog. For a Indian Spitz puppy, this means approximately 55 - 75 calories per pound of body weight per day.

      Water Requirements

  • Half a cup of water every two hours. You'll need to adjust this amount based on your puppy's activity level and the ambient temperature  

         Nutritional Balance

         Puppy food should be rich in protein and fat to support growth and energy needs. A balanced puppy food should contain:

  • High-quality animal protein (35%)
  • Fats (20%)
  • Fiber: (2.9%)
  • Moisture: (9%)
  • Essential vitamins and minerals for bone and teeth development
  • DHA for brain and vision development

     Life Stage Specific

  • Choose a dog food specifically designed for puppies. This food is formulated to support their developmental needs, including higher protein content and essential nutrients for their growth..

Special Dietary Needs
