A gentle, science-led approach to protein discovery and early support
If youāre reading this, chances are youāve recently welcomed a puppy into your life ā and if so, congratulations. Puppyhood is exciting, chaotic, joyful, and sometimes a little overwhelming. You want to do everything right, but itās not always obvious what ārightā looks like.
Thatās exactly why I created the Puppy Support Kit.
This isnāt just a box of treats. Itās a starting point ā a calm, thoughtful way to introduce natural foods while learning what truly suits your puppy as an individual. My aim is to help you feel confident, informed, and supported, not pressured or confused.
-----------------------------------
Why Puppyhood Matters So Much
The first months of a puppyās life are a period of rapid growth and learning. What they eat during this time doesnāt just provide energy, it supports the normal development of digestion, immunity, brain function, and emotional regulation.
Because their systems are still developing, how foods are introduced matters just as much as what is introduced.
The Puppy Support Kit was designed with this stage in mind. It is intended for puppies from 12 weeks and up, when digestive systems are better prepared for a wider range of natural treats. The softer training treats within the kit, including protein cubes and mini sausages, are suitable for puppies from 8 weeks, making them ideal for early reward-based training and bonding.
Gentle, natural, functional treats ā paired with clear guidance you can actually use in real life.
-----------------------------------
The Proteins in the Puppy Support Kit
Inside the Puppy Support Kit youāll find a carefully selected range of single-protein natural treats, including:
Beef
Chicken
Lamb
Fish
Rabbit
Venison
Each protein is offered on its own, not mixed ā and thatās intentional.
Introducing one protein at a time allows you to better understand how your puppy responds, helping you build a clear picture of what suits them now and in the future.
-----------------------------------
Whatās Inside the Puppy Support Kit ā and Why Itās There
Every item in the Puppy Support Kit was chosen for a reason. These are not fillers or novelty treats. Each one offers a natural, functional benefit when fed appropriately alongside a complete puppy diet.
Protein Cubes
(Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Venison & Rabbit)
Single-protein cubes designed for clear, structured protein introduction. These allow you to introduce one protein at a time without additional ingredients complicating the picture, making it easier to observe how your puppy responds.
Easy to portion for training and everyday rewards, these cubes form the foundation of the Puppy Support Kitās protein discovery approach.
Mini Sausages ā Beef & Pumpkin
Pumpkin provides gentle dietary fibre to support normal digestion and stool quality, while the soft texture makes these an excellent higher-value reward for training and focus.
Beef Intestine Chews
An air-dried, softer chew that provides natural enrichment. Beef intestine is a natural source of biotin, which supports healthy skin, coat condition, and normal cellular function.
Fish Flatties
Naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which support normal brain and nervous system development, as well as skin and coat health. A puppy-friendly way to introduce fish protein.
Rabbit Ears (With Fur)
Provide natural fibre that supports gut motility and digestive health, alongside valuable chewing enrichment. Rabbit ears offer a gentle introduction to fur, helping satisfy natural chewing and foraging instincts.
-----------------------------------
Why We Introduce One Protein at a Time
Every puppy is different. What suits one may not suit another, and the only way to truly understand your puppyās needs is to introduce foods slowly and thoughtfully.
By offering one protein at a time, you give your puppyās digestive and immune systems the chance to adapt gradually. You also gain valuable insight into how their body responds ā information that can guide their diet well beyond puppyhood.
This approach helps to:
Support gut health
Reduce the risk of digestive upset
Identify sensitivities early
Build long-term dietary tolerance
Think of it as learning your puppyās food language ā quietly, patiently, and without overwhelm.
-----------------------------------
How to Introduce Proteins Safely (Step by Step)
Step 1: Choose One Protein
Pick a single protein and stick with treats containing only that protein.
Step 2: Start Small
Offer small amounts over 2ā4 days to allow your puppyās system time to adjust.
Step 3: Observe Your Puppy
Thereās no need to overanalyse ā just gently notice.
Physical signs to watch for:
Changes in stool consistency
Gas or bloating
Vomiting or regurgitation
Itching, redness, or irritation
Behavioural signs to notice:
Restlessness after eating
Reduced focus
Changes in appetite or energy
If everything looks settled, youāve likely found a protein that suits your puppy well.
Step 4: Build a Safe List
Once a protein is tolerated, it becomes a known safe option. When youāre ready, introduce the next protein slowly, keeping everything else the same.
Thereās no rush. Slow is kind to growing bodies.
-----------------------------------
How to Use the Puppy Support Kit Day to Day
The Puppy Support Kit is designed to complement a complete puppy diet, not replace it. Nutritional needs for growth are met primarily through your puppyās main food, with treats offering gentle, supportive benefits when used appropriately.
This kit isnāt designed to be used all at once. Think of it as a toolkit you return to as your puppy grows.
A little goes a long way. These treats are nutrient-dense, so small amounts are more than enough for young digestive systems.
Protein cubes work well for training, bonding, and focused reward
Natural chews are best offered during quiet moments, supporting calming behaviours and enrichment
All treats and chews should always be given under supervision, especially for young puppies
When introducing a new protein, let that be the focus for the day and keep meals and routines consistent
Some puppies move through the kit quickly. Others take much longer. There is no correct pace ā your puppy sets the timeline.
-----------------------------------
A Final, Honest Note
There is no single perfect feeding plan for every puppy, and thatās okay.
What matters most is paying attention, introducing foods thoughtfully, and choosing natural, functional options that support your puppy as they grow.
My hope is that this becomes more than just a shop for you. I want it to be a place you trust, for guidance, reassurance, and honest information ā at every stage of your dogās life.
But something you need to know⦠Youāre doing a great job.
And you're puppy is lucky to have you. š¤
