Product Description

Nutriment Raw Puppy Weaning Paste provides a premium, biologically appropriate introductory raw component meticulously developed to support the specific transition of young puppies from maternal milk to solid food. Sourced from trusted, ethically managed British poultry farms and packaged at the Nutriment state of the art facility, this specialized formula contains an exceptionally high concentration of pure, premium human grade chicken before being rapidly frozen. The single portion 500g tray structure is intentionally designed for effortless meal planning during a crucial developmental phase, offering an ultra fine, smooth paste texture that allows vulnerable young puppies to lap it up safely without any risk of choking. Free from any processing aids, grains, gluten, low quality fillers, or unnecessary synthetic additives, this highly nutritious starter blend locks in rich natural juices, active native enzymes, and delicate vitamins, making it an outstanding option for breeders and owners seeking a high performance, clean raw start for their litter.

Catering to the delicate biological requirements of a weaning canine delivers outstanding skeletal, metabolic, and digestive advantages. This formula consists of 100% high quality British chicken with exceptionally finely ground bone, providing an excellent source of highly digestible protein and essential lipids that naturally foster rapid cellular repair and steady daily energy. Because young puppies possess incredibly sensitive, developing gastrointestinal tracts, the single protein chicken profile ensures the food is exceptionally light and gentle on the stomach, minimizing the risk of digestive upset. The inclusion of raw poultry bone, crushed down to a completely smooth, microscopic paste consistency, acts as a highly bioavailable source of calcium and phosphorus to encourage steady skeletal durability, straight bone growth, and early tooth development in a form that is perfectly safe for three week old puppies to swallow and absorb.

As a signature selection in the Nutriment starter range, this recipe focuses entirely on clean, simple, and high quality nourishment to build a strong physical foundation. It contains zero grains, gluten, offal, vegetables, or artificial preservatives, keeping the ingredient profile minimal to prevent overloading an immature digestive system. The high natural moisture content native to fresh raw poultry mirrors the hydration levels of maternal milk, ensuring smooth transition mechanics and keeping the litter perfectly hydrated. Packaged in a compact, stackable 500g re-sealable tray, it offers a highly practical, mess free solution for breeders looking to introduce raw nutrition during the vital early weeks of canine development.

Suitable For

Animal Type: Domestic dogs and working dogs. Not for human consumption.

Breed Size: All breeds and sizes; the ultra fine paste consistency can be easily lapped up by the smallest toy breed litters or served in bulk for large breed puppies.

Life Stage: Specifically formulated for young puppies during the initial weaning phase, from 3 weeks to 6 weeks of age, before transitioning onto standard puppy mince.

Feeding Guide & How To Use

Daily Serving: Feed weaning puppies based on the size of the litter and their daily appetite. At 3 weeks of age, start by offering small spoonfuls of the paste mixed with warm water or puppy milk replacer to create a shallow, easily lapable soup. Gradually increase the quantity and thickness of the paste as the puppies grow towards 6 weeks of age, dividing the total daily amount across 4 to 6 very small meals per day.

Serving Strategy: This product is a specialized introductory starter feed designed for the initial transition phase. While it provides essential protein, fat, calcium, and phosphorus for early growth, it is intended as a stepping stone between maternal milk and solid complete meals. From 6 weeks of age onwards, puppies should be gradually transitioned onto Nutriment Complete Puppy Formula to ensure all long term vitamin and mineral requirements are met.

Customising the Bowl: The recipe contains zero plant matter or artificial fillers. Place the required portion into a shallow, flat weaning dish to thaw. Never cook, boil, or microwave this product, as cooking alters the ground bone content and destroys vital live enzymes and delicate natural micronutrients needed for early development.

Thawing Instructions: Defrost the 500g tray within the refrigerator overnight (approximately 10 to 12 hours) before serving, or portion out what is needed and thaw at room temperature for roughly 2 hours.

Storage Advice: Keep frozen until ready to thaw. Once defrosted, store the thawed weaning paste in the refrigerator and use within 24 to 48 hours. Do not refreeze the product once it has thawed.

Safe Handling: Follow strict hygiene rules when preparing raw pet food. Always wash your hands, shallow weaning dishes, utensils, and all work surfaces thoroughly with warm soapy water after handling raw poultry. Thoroughly clean the puppies' faces and paws if they walk through the feeding dish.

Fresh Water: Ensure the litter always has access to clean, fresh drinking water in a shallow, safe dish as they learn to lap fluids independently.
