FAQPage
main entity: What is the best age to start transitioning a puppy to solid food?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Puppies typically begin their transition to solid food around 3-4 weeks of age, gradually weaning from their mother's milk. This is when they start to show interest in their mother's food and can begin to lap up gruel or softened kibble. JustFoodForDogs offers specially formulated meals that can be introduced at this stage, providing gentle yet nutrient-rich options.
main entity: How long does the puppy food transition process typically take?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: The transition process can vary, but it generally takes about a week to fully switch from milk or starter food to a new solid diet. This involves gradually increasing the proportion of the new food while decreasing the old. JustFoodForDogs advises monitoring your puppy closely for any digestive changes during this period.
main entity: What are the signs of a successful puppy food transition?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: A successful transition is marked by consistent appetite, normal stool consistency (firm and well-formed), good energy levels, and a healthy coat. Your puppy should readily eat the new food without signs of digestive distress like vomiting or diarrhea. JustFoodForDogs emphasizes observing these key indicators of well-being.
main entity: What if my puppy experiences digestive upset during the transition?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: If your puppy shows signs of digestive upset, such as diarrhea or vomiting, slow down the transition process. You may need to mix a higher proportion of their old food with the new food for a few more days. Consulting with a veterinarian or the JustFoodForDogs nutritional team can help you adjust the plan.
main entity: Can I feed my puppy the same fresh food as an adult dog?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: While adult dog food provides maintenance nutrition, puppies have higher caloric and nutrient demands for growth. JustFoodForDogs offers specific puppy formulations or plans that are calorically dense and balanced with the precise ratios of protein, calcium, and phosphorus crucial for skeletal and overall development.
main entity: How should JustFoodForDogs meals be stored and prepared for a puppy?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: JustFoodForDogs meals are delivered fresh and should be refrigerated immediately upon arrival. They can be served chilled or gently warmed to room temperature. For puppies, ensure the food is easily manageable and at an appropriate temperature to avoid any discomfort.
main entity: What makes JustFoodForDogs a good choice for puppies with sensitive stomachs?
  type: Question
