Full details
SPECIFIC CPD-M Puppy Medium Breed is a nutritionally complete diet specifically formulated for puppies of medium-sized breeds reaching an adult weight of 10-25kg, as well as for lactating bitches of all breeds. The primary benefit of this food is its high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids, which promote healthy neurological and physical development, though owners should note it is strictly optimized for medium-breed growth profiles rather than large or giant breeds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin feeding, transition your puppy gradually over 5-7 days by mixing increasing amounts of CPD-M with their previous diet to avoid stomach upset.

The food is fully compatible with standard feeding routines and does not require additional supplementation unless specifically advised by your veterinarian.
