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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatering 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Domestic dogs and working dogs.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomising 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThawing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh Water: Ensure the litter always has access to clean, fresh drinking water in a shallow, safe dish as they learn to lap fluids independently.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60534868771150,"sku":"NUM\/PWP\/500","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/Nutriment-Weaning-500g.jpg?v=1787741596","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/nutriment-raw-dog-food-puppy-weaning-paste-500g-3-weeks-to-6-weeks","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
