Puppy menus FAQs
Why is proper nutrition so important in the first few months of life?
Proper nutrition during puppyhood lays the foundation for a long and healthy life. The whole organism of the young dog develops during this sensitive phase. A natural, balanced and high-quality diet is particularly important. This is exactly where Terra Canis Puppy menus come in.
What sets the Terra Canis Puppy menus apart?
The menus were developed together with vets and consist of lots of fresh meat, high-quality offal as well as fresh vegetables, fruit and herbs. All ingredients are 100% human-grade quality - you can see, taste and smell it. This means that young puppies only get the best for an optimal start in life.
How do they support bone and joint development?
The specially developed Terra Canis Puppy Complex contains Oyster shell as a natural source of calcium, silica, which is known to maintain joint health, and mineral clay. This ensures an optimum calcium-phosphorus ratio in the end product and supports the healthy growth of the puppy's musculoskeletal system.
What natural additives are included in the Puppy menus?
Natural ingredients such as rosehip, spirulina, brewer's yeast, camomile and chestnut flour provide the Puppy menus with valuable nutrients.
Which puppies and young dogs are the Puppy menus suitable for?
Terra Canis Puppy menus are ideal for puppies and young dogs up to around 12 months of age, depending on the breed. The composition of the menus, with a small amount of gluten-free grain, high meat content and the well thought-out additives, provides puppies and young dogs with optimum nutrition and supports normal growth.

What kind of dog is puppy food most suitable for?
Our wet food for puppies is made from fresh muscle meat, healthy vegetables, fruit, herbs, and many natural nutritional supplements such as mineral clay, seaweed, brewer’s yeast, and rose hip. Oyster shells supply sufficient calcium for healthy bone growth. The menus also contain a small amount of gluten-free pseudo-grains. Our puppy menu is suitable for pups and young dogs up to the age of one year.
What should I look for in healthy puppy food?
The foundation for a healthy life is laid in the first few months. During this period, the organism has not yet fully developed its intestinal flora, known as microbiomes, and is therefore vulnerable to changes, so providing high-quality and species-appropriate nutrition is important from the start.
Puppies and young dogs benefit from eating several small, slightly warmed portions of food spread throughout the day. That makes the food more digestible, and puppies can transition from mother’s milk to their own food bowls more easily.
Depending on the dog’s size, you should feed them as follows:
Up to six months: 3-4 meals per day
After six months: 2-3 meals per day
At approximately 12 months (depending on the dog’s development), you can gradually move to a food for adult dogs - such as the Classic range or the grain-free range von Terra Canis.
Should my dog also receive a food supplement in addition to the puppy food?
Terra Canis puppy menus are designed to be a complete food, containing all the nutrients a puppy needs every day. You should always discuss with your vet whether you need to supplement the wet puppy food. Care should be taken when adding calcium because too much can push the calcium-phosphorus ratio into the wrong range, negatively affecting the puppy’s bone health.
Giving a lot does not always help and can also have negative effects on the puppy’s health.
If a puppy or young dog suffers from an illness at a young age, or has special nutritional needs, you can support them specifically with food supplements. The following questions may be helpful: If my puppy grows to be quite large, might it have a predisposition to joint problems or arthrosis? Are there any possible breed-specific or genetic conditions that can be prevented with supplements? Could I, or should I, boost my dog’s immune system in certain situations? Does my pet have a healthy-looking coat? Is my dog sensitive, with digestive symptoms? Has my puppy come from adverse rearing conditions?
By taking stock of the above, you should be aware of what the supplements in the bowl have been selected for, and what form of support might be good for the puppy in question.
Why can’t a puppy eat food meant for adult dogs?
Specially adapted puppy food guarantees that a puppy’s specific needs for healthy growth are met. In particular, calcium, phosphorus, and trace elements play a special role here. To cover the increased needs during the growth stage, a puppy or young dog must be provided with food tailored to these needs, to avoid giving too much, too little, or causing malnutrition. Malnutrition in puppyhood can foster later chronic problems.
At what age can my puppy start eating food for adult dogs?
Depending on its final adult size a dog is fully grown between 10 and 24 months. While the small breeds are the quickest to reach their final adult size (10-12 months), large breeds can continue growing until the end of their second year.
“Height” growth results in long hollow bones, for example the femoral bone. The ends of these bones have growth plates where the bone mass grows to the genetically established size. The dog’s genes always dictate its final size. The fallacy that feeding the dog generously will make it shoot up a little higher is just wrong and downright dangerous to bone health!
Once the dog reaches its pre-defined size, the growth plates close. The time when they close varies from bone to bone and from dog to dog. Dogs’ growth can be charted as a growth curve, which progresses differently according to breed, sex, and feeding. If a dog owner gives a puppy too much food, it does not increase its fat mass, but grows too fast, which can have negative consequences for the dog. Maintaining a healthy growth curve is vital to ensure that the locomotor system is never stressed too much. Up to 6 months, the natural curve is particularly steep - which means that the dog is visibly growing fast. From 6 months of age, growth noticeably slows, and the curve flattens. Once the dog has reached its final size, the growth plates close and the bone can then take its full weight.
