Bringing a puppy into your life is a great addition to family life. Bundles of joy, with lots of energy and plenty of love, they’ll bring happiness into any home. As owners, it is our duty to give our pets everything they need to have a happy, healthy life. Putting in place the essentials for their environment and giving them the proper training in positive behaviours is great for their emotional wellbeing. Plus, providing them with a nutritious diet, with the best puppy food, is important to support them as they grow into a healthy, strong adult dog.
When it comes to the right diet, your puppy can benefit from a complete dry dog food full of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This can help to support their growing muscles, developing bones, and keep them fit and healthy. However, some puppies suffer from sensitive stomachs, and therefore require a specialist pet food that can cater to these needs and is free from ingredients such soya, wheat, beef, and eggs, which a known to cause sensitivities in dogs.
Whichever food you choose, your puppy should start to eat solid puppy food from the age of six weeks. Gradually introduce them to a dry kibble by mashing a little down with hot water to create a paste and letting in cool to room temperature. Add less water until your puppy is eating dry food on its own.
A clear sign that your puppy is on a good diet is nice, firm poos. If you notice your puppy is going for a poo more often, or if your puppy is doing runny poos, they may have a sensitive stomach. Similarly, signs of sensitive or itchy skin can also be indicators that your puppy has sensitivities. It is always best to speak to your vet as these symptoms could be a sign of an underlying condition. Your vet might also recommend moving them onto a sensitive puppy food.
Our Burgess Sensitive Puppy contains gentle ingredients,, including yucca and beet pulp to help form solid poos, and reduce stool odour. The protein in our recipe supports growing muscles, alongside prebiotics that support good bacteria in the gut.
Burgess Sensitive Puppy is designed to support your dog’s:

The Burgess story begins in the 17th century, with the family starting out as flour millers in North Yorkshire. Fast forward to the 1960s, the transition to providing the best pet food to the nation’s animals began. Since then, we have been delivering great quality pet food to the doors of British homes. To this day, we are still family-run, and dedicated to improving the welfare of dogs, cats, and small animals, especially with great tasting kibble that’s designed for their complex needs.

The best food for a puppy is one that contains quality ingredients to support them throughout their formative years. A complete pet food, like Burgess Supadog, Sensitive or Paul O’Grady’s puppy food is a great way to make sure your pup is getting a nutritious diet in one simple food. With a complete puppy food there’s no need to supplement with wet food or a mixer.
Here are some of the puppy-specific ingredients to look out for when buying puppy food:
While your young dog is growing, they need a food that supports their development. Generally, once they hit 12 months, their growth will slow down and their dietary needs will change. Therefore, you should aim to switch from puppy to adult food around their first birthday. Puppy food might be too high in protein, with too much fat for an adult dog. Instead, they need a food with adjusted protein content and digestible ingredients to support them through their adult years.
When your puppy hits the one year milestone, gradually transition them onto Burgess adult dog food by slowly mixing in the adult food with their puppy food over a period of 7-10 days. Each day, increase the proportion of new food, until, by day 10, they are eating a full portion of adult kibble.
Explore our adult dog food range today. It has something for working dogs, breed specific food, as well as food suitable for dogs with sensitivities. If you love Paul O’Grady No Nasties Puppy, you’ll love Paul’s No Nasties Adult or Hypoallergenic range.
All of our puppy food has a helpful guide on the back of the pack to let you know how much you should be feeding your puppy. Each puppy feeding chart is based on weight and age, helping you navigate their changing dietary requirements and appetite as they grow.
When it comes to when and how often to feed your puppy, it does depend on the age of the dog. We recommend that for puppies between the age of 2 and 6 months, feeding should be split over 3-4 meals a day. Your puppy’s feeding schedule should then change after 6 months, and their daily amount should be split over 2 meals.
Over-feeding puppies may encourage an acceleration in their growth. This can result in skeletal abnormalities where the joints are not formed correctly. For example, overfeeding can increase the risk of hip dysplasia. Always keep an eye on your puppy’s weight and body condition for signs that they are overweight.
Each of our puppy product pages contains our guidance on feeding your puppy. Always make sure your puppy has access to clean, fresh water.
Feeding your puppy a complete dry food is an easy way to make sure they are getting all the nutrients they need. With a complete food you won’t need to top it up with a wet food or a mixer.
Treats are a great training tool, especially while your puppy is still learning the ropes. The odd reward here and there can help to reinforce positive behaviours, support your recall training, and is a great way to bond with your dog. The key thing to remember is to always take into account treats when working out their daily food portion. Just as giving them the wrong diet can increase the risks of obesity and obesity-related illnesses, too many treats can mean your pup puts on weight, which has a negative impact in the long run.
We also don’t recommend feeding your dog from the table. Not only will this encourage poor manners, but table scraps are often not suitable for your dog. Other foods to avoid are fat trimmings, grapes and raisins, and dairy products. Chocolate is also strictly off limits. It contains theobromine which is toxic to most animals including dogs, cats, and small pets.
