In this webinar, we will explore the problems and pitfalls surrounding puppy nutrition and digestive health. Puppyhood is a challenging time in terms of digestive health with worm burdens, waning of maternal antibodies, vaccination and the stress of a new home all contributing to biological stress and immune challenge. Top tips for getting puppies through the post-weaning period will be given, including what to do when things go wrong. The importance of quality nutrition in this early period will also be discussed, including delving into whether the marketing claims, super food ingredients and current trends in pet food stand up to scientific scrutiny.
