What is the difference between puppy & junior food?  James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved


James Wellbeloved Puppy and junior food are both formulated for growing dogs. All puppies once weaned at around 6-7 weeks should be fed on James Wellbeloved puppy food.

Depending on the adult size of the dog your puppy may benefit from being fed a junior food designed as a follow on food for medium and large breed dogs. It’s all to do with the age at which dogs mature For example small dogs will be mature at 6 months and can gradually move onto their own small breed adult food then; whilst large dogs will continue to grow well into their second year and will benefit from being fed a large breed junior food.

Check out our feeding guides for more details.

Which of our foods is highest in protein?  James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved

Weaning James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved

When should I start to feed my puppy James Wellbeloved puppy food? James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved


Our puppy foods are suitable for feeding from 6-8 weeks.

When should I wean my puppy? James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved


From around 2-3 weeks puppies can be offered small amounts of kibble moistened in warm water several times a day. Gradually reduce the liquid until the puppies are fully weaned. All moist food should be replaced on a regular basis.

When should I change my kitten food to cat food? James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved


Your cat should gradually change over to adult food at around 12 months of age.

When should I change my puppy to junior or adult food? James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved


This is dependent on your dogs breed and expected adult weight, for example if your dog expected adult weight is under 10kg then we would recommend once they turn 6 months old to gradually transition them onto our Small Breed Adult product. If their expected adult weight is going to be between 10-25kg then we would advise as of 6 months to move onto our junior product, if they are epxected to weigh over 25kg+ then we would advise to transition onto our Large Breed Junior product.

Pregnancy James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved

How should feeding routines change during a dogs pregnancy? James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved


Gestation (pregnancy) in the dog lasts for around 9 weeks.

Growing multiple puppies inside her then producing enough milk to feed them all for 5 to 8 weeks takes an enormous amount of energy. For the first 6 weeks of pregnancy, she will be OK with her normal food allowance but, in the last 3 weeks, she will need up to 30% more food than before she became pregnant and, when her milk production is at its peak in weeks 3 to 4, she will need up to 3.5 times her normal food supply. It is simply not possible for her to eat enough food to supply all the energy she needs to produce that milk so she also converts some of her body fat into extra energy and one would expect her to have lost up to 10% of her normal weight by the time the pups are weaned.

Because of this, she needs to be in peak condition at mating. If she is underweight, the unborn puppies can be smaller and there will be a higher risk of mortality when they are born. If she is overweight, the unborn puppies can be too big which can make for difficult births.

Because she needs so much energy but has a limited appetite, she needs a food with higher levels of energy than normal. Our Puppy and Large breed Junior foods are both designed to also meet the requirements of the lactating bitch and should be fed instead of the normal adult food from the 6th week of pregnancy. Using our James Wellbeloved puppy food also gives the puppies an introduction to their first solid food. Multiple meal-times allow the bitch to eat more and, in weeks 2 to 4 of lactation, it is a good idea to give her constant free access to food.

How should feeding routines change during a cats pregnancy? James Wellbeloved James Wellbeloved


Growing multiple kittens inside her then producing enough milk to feed them all for 5 to 8 weeks takes an enormous amount of energy. By the last week of pregnancy, she needs up to 1½ times as much energy as before she became pregnant. When her milk production is at its peak in weeks 3 to 4, she needs up to 3 times her normal energy supply. It is simply not possible for her to eat enough food to supply all the energy she needs to produce that milk so, from early in her 9-week pregnancy, she starts to build up extra reserves of body fat which she can then use to top up her energy from food during lactation.

Because of this, she needs to be in peak condition at mating. If she is underweight, the unborn kittens can be smaller and there will be a higher risk of mortality when they are born. If she is overweight, the unborn kittens can be too big which can make for difficult births.

From the first or second week of pregnancy, she needs unrestricted access to a high energy food, and we strongly recommend that she has one of our Kitten foods throughout pregnancy and lactation. Make sure there is always food in her dish and that she can always get to her dish. The Kitten foods are high in energy and formulated to meet all the mother’s mineral and vitamin requirements during this time. They also have the advantage of supplying the kittens with the correct food as they get close to weaning.

When weaning is complete and the kittens are removed, the mother can be encouraged to stop producing milk by fasting her for a day, then gradually building up to her normal allowance over the next few days.
