OVERVIEW
Puppies, lactating, gestating, or very active dogs need more energy. With higher protein and fat, puppies get the start in life they need for the transition to adulthood. For dogs with higher energy demands or have trouble keeping weight on, the extra calories help keep dogs healthy and vibrant.
