Puppyhood is a time of rapid growth and learning — physically, mentally, and socially. Supporting your pup’s development now sets them up for a lifetime of good health and confidence.
Nutrition for Growth: Feed a complete, balanced puppy diet tailored to their breed size. Look for DHA for brain and eye development and balanced minerals for strong bones. Anipal Puppy Formula provides extra digestive and immune support to complement a quality diet.
Learning About the World: Introduce new people, places, and sounds gradually, rewarding calm behavior. Gentle socialisation helps puppies become well-adjusted adults. Positive experiences during this critical socialization window build a pup’s confidence and reduce fear later in life.
Training Made Fun: Keep sessions short, positive, and full of rewards. Puppies learn best through encouragement, not correction. A few minutes a day is all it takes to build great habits – make training a game and celebrate small wins to keep your puppy motivated and engaged.
