Growth Stages

Puppyhood

Puppyhood is a time when a puppy's physical and behavioural characteristics develop dramatically. Nutrition that is customised to their developmental needs can help them grow from vulnerable puppies to strong, healthy dogs.

The Transformation

Your puppy will undergo a remarkable transition throughout the first few months of life. At this critical stage, Royal Canin meals provide nourishment customised to their specific needs.

• Senses: Until the end of the second week, a puppy's eyes are closed. They don't have fully developed hearing until they're eight weeks old. When fully developed, a dog's hearing ranges from two to two and a half times that of human ears.
• Immunity and Defence: Their underdeveloped immune system must help defend them from millions of pathogens throughout the first six months of life.
• Bones in good shape: Your puppy's bones must develop to be four times stronger than concrete in the first year of life.
• Exceptional development: For the first two weeks, a puppy usually grows 5-10% of its body weight every day.

A puppy's guide to life

Puppyhood is a wonderful time for pet owners, but it also comes with a lot of hurdles and steep learning curves for both you and your pet. The information and advice on these pages were gathered from Bangalore Puppy Farm veterinarians, nutritionists, and partners throughout the world, and should help you and your puppy get off to a good start in life.

Stages of puppy development

Understanding your puppy's developmental phases can help you recognise the problems they experience and how to care for them. It is critical for their healthy growth into adulthood that they have the proper nutritional balance in their diet.

Puppies begin to fight with their siblings at this age. They may begin to interact with each other through vocal communication and body language, like as tail-wagging, toward the conclusion of this phase.

Puppyhood

Structure, socialisation, and training are crucial for your puppy's development into a confident, well-behaved adult. Puppies require special puppy food until they reach adulthood in order to sustain their continuing growth.
