Why choose Junior?
When changing from puppy food to adult food, there is typically a gradual decrease in the nutrient provision – in particular, a step-down in dietary protein, fat and energy levels, as well as managed levels of key minerals such as calcium and phosphorous. Our Junior diets can help make this step down from puppy food to adult dog food more gradual by providing a nutritional “stepping stone”.
