A nutritionally complete hypoallergenic diet for puppies, pregnant and lactating mothers and dogs requiring the highest energy diet
Masters Puppy & Junior is a small kibble suitable for all breeds of puppy. It is rich in top quality British chicken and rice, and contains many other nutritious ingredients such as sugar beet and prebiotic's to support digestive health. It is also wheat gluten-free, which makes it suitable for dogs that suffer from certain allergies. Linseed and Salmon Oil are added as a natural conditioner to give your dog a beautiful glossy coat and supply Omega 3 & Omega 6 essential fatty acids.
Masters Puppy & Junior is specially formulated for puppies, from 3-4 weeks to 6-9 months, and pregnant mothers. It provides a high quality, concentrated and balanced diet that supplies all the nutrients needed to keep your dog in peak condition at this important time. The nutritional value and ease of digestibility makes it ideal for puppies and expectant mothers, and does not require the addition of any meat or biscuits.
Masters Puppy & Junior should be fed to the mother from 2-3 weeks prior to birth, which will ensure production of sufficient milk to satisfy the forthcoming litter without sacrificing the mother’s overall condition. By feeding the mother the same product that the puppies will be weaned onto, the puppies will be receiving the same nutrients through the milk that they will receive once weaning commences. This helps to prevent any setback at weaning.
Masters Puppy & Junior is also suitable for dogs needing help with weight as it has a higher fat and protein content.
Free puppy packs are available, please contact us for more information.

Pregnant Mothers
Expectant mothers should be fed Masters Puppy & Junior from approximately 3 weeks prior to the expected birth date. When fed to pregnant and lactating bitches we would always recommend that they are fed as much as required, little on often, which is usually 2-5 times the amount on the below adult feeding guide, depending on the litter size. This helps to accommodate the restriction on her stomach caused by the growing puppies.
When the puppies are born, adequate food should be given to ensure the production of sufficient milk to satisfy the litter without sacrificing the mother’s overall condition. By feeding the mother the same product that the puppies will be weaned onto, the puppies will be receiving the same nutrients through the milk that they will receive once weaning commences. This helps to prevent any setback at weaning. Continue feeding Masters Puppy & Junior for at least 8 weeks after the birth.

The amount of food a dog requires can depend on a number of factors, including age, breed, sex, activity and time of year. Whelping bitches may require up to double the recommended amount.
The above feed chart is meant to be used as a guide only. All dogs are individuals and their metabolism and nutritional requirement vary. The recommended quantity should be fed over a number of feeds and if the dog has eaten all it requires, dispose of what is left. Do not reuse old food.
Add warm water and feed immediately. Alternatively, Puppy & Junior may be fed either soaked or dry to adult dogs.
Drinking water should always be available.
Weaning can commence at 3½ – 4 weeks of age. Masters Puppy & Junior should be thoroughly soaked in sufficient warm water to ensure the pellets are softened completely. A good tip is to put the next meal in to soak each time you feed your puppies. At feed time, simply drain off any excess water, mash the softened food and add a little more warm water to give it the consistency of porridge.
After approximately 7-14 days, start adding a few dry pellets on top of the bowl of food to encourage chewing. Initially, feed 4 times a day and discard any food not consumed within 30 minutes.
Depending on how the puppy is developing you can change to Masters Active & Growth when the puppies are 6-9 months old.
