Food change
Dry Dog Food
We recommend an immediate change of dry dog food without a transitional phase. Due to the differences in digestibility, mixing PLATINUM Dry Food with another dry food is not advisable.
Please note the following points when feeding:
- Serve dry or slightly moistened with water.
- Do not let the food soak for a long time, serve immediately.
- Always provide your dog with fresh water.
- Initially please feed using the lower recommended amount, only serve more if required.
Wet Dog Food
The changeover from conventional wet food to Menu can be made immediately, without any transitional phase. If your dog has a very sensitive stomach, you can give it the Menu over a period of 1-2 days, introducing it slowly until the animal has fully changed over to it.

FAQ
The timing of the change from puppy food to adult food depends (among other things) on the expected size and breed of your dog.
Small breeds (such as Dachshunds and Pugs) can be given puppy food up to 12 months of age. Medium-sized dogs (e.g. Australian Shepherds, Border Collies) can usually switch to adult food after they have finished teething (approx. 6 months of age), while large breeds (e.g. Bernese Mountain Dogs, Rhodesian Ridgebacks) can be fed adult food from the age of 4 months.

If an earlier changeover to an adult food is made, we recommend following the feeding recommendations for puppies until they are 12 months old in order to ensure an adequate supply of nutrients with optimum (and not maximum) growth rates. You can also get more information on optimal feeding via our digital feed advisor.
No, you can rely on the fact that no animal experiments are done for the product development and production of our food and care products - neither by us, nor by any other third party.
To avoid causing problems in the puppy learning to produce the important substances contained in the extract on its own, they should not be supplied in the food in the first 3 months.
Puppies in particular need sufficient energy and more protein in the first few months of their life to ensure healthy growth and development.
You can obtain more information on the optimum feeding quantity via our digital feed advisor, which calculates your dog's individual requirements quickly and conveniently.
A balanced diet is essential for a puppy to develop into a healthy adult dog. That's why our Puppy Chicken (Mini) only contains ingredients that are important for healthy development, and does not contain additives such as green-lipped mussel extract. A puppy's body is not just growing physically - it is also in a learning phase. Among other things, one of the most important substances from the green-lipped mussel is produced by the dog's own body. In order not to interfere with this production, we refrain from providing additional green-lipped mussel extract or other supplements in the first three months of life. These are valuable ingredients for an adult dog, which is why they are included in our Adult Chicken (Mini) dry food.
