Puppy dog nutrition guide

Here are some recommendations from Embark’s expert team:


Main Course

Large-breed puppies need diets that support slow and steady growth without containing an excessive amount of calcium. Their calorie needs are the highest during their first four months.

Start Fresh

Large-breed puppies may find a fresh food diet more appetizing than other diet options. Fresh food can also be added to dry food as a nutritionally balanced topper.

Feeding Solutions

Some large-breed puppies eat so quickly that they get an upset stomach. A slow feeder bowl or puzzle can slow down these speed eaters while providing enrichment.

DNA personalization

By testing your dog’s DNA, Embark can personalize nutrition recommendations for your dog based on their unique genetic makeup.
