SCIENTIFICALLY FORMULATED
FOR EVERY LIFE STAGE

As your pet ages, their nutrition should be adapted. Our comprehensive understanding of canine physiology allows us to create precisely calibrated nutrition for each developmental stage and breed size, ensuring optimal support throughout their entire life journey.

  • LIFE STAGES

  • Puppy

    The foundation period where nutrition directly impacts future health. Our puppy formulas feature enhanced DHA levels from fish oil to support neural development and cognitive function—critical for optimal trainability and early learning. Balanced calcium and phosphorus ratios support proper skeletal development, while proteins with essetnial amino acids provide building blocks for growth.

  • JUNIOR

    A crucial transition phase as growth patterns shift. Our junior formula maintains tailored protein and mineral levels to support continuing development while adjusting energy density to match changing metabolism.This precise nutritional balance helps support the final stages of physical maturation while preparing for adult maintenance needs.

  • ADULT

    The prime years require nutrition that sustains peak condition. Our adult formulas deliver optimal protein-to-fat ratios to maintain lean muscle mass and energy levels. Enhanced antioxidant complexes support the immune system, while our distinctive fibre blend promotes digestive health and nutrient absorption.

  • MATURE

    As metabolic processes begin to change, the nutrition should follow. Our Mature formulas provide targeted support, while addressing early signs of aging. L-Carnitine helps to maintain a healthy weight, while a high level of animal protein supports lean muscles. The DentaDefense systems helps to keep teeth clean and an optimal ration of omega-6 & -3 supports healthy skin and coat.

  • SENIOR

    Advanced years require advanced nutrition. Our senior formulas feature glucosamine and chondroitin to support joint health and mobility. Prebiotic FOS and MOS nourish the gut flora and together with a tailored fibre blend support a healthy digesiton. Adjusted protein and fat levels along with L-Carnitin help maintain a healthy body condition.

ASKED QUESTIONS

A dog’s nutritional needs vary depending on their size and age. That’s why our product range is tailored to different life stages and distinguishes between small, medium, and large breeds.

EUKANUBA provides optimal nutrition for your dog at every stage of life—from puppyhood to senior age. Not only the protein and fat content, but also the choice of ingredients and kibble size, are precisely adapted to suit the dog's age, activity level, and nutritional needs. This helps keep your dog in peak physical condition and supports a long, healthy life by your side. 

Each EUKANUBA Life Care formula contains a blend of carbohydrate sources tailored to the dog’s breed size and life stage. For example, puppy and senior recipes include easily digestible rice, while formulas for adult dogs contain sorghum, which is richer in fibre. Corn grits are used in the rich in fresh chicken formulas for large breed dogs due to their lower mineral content. Grains are rich in starch, but they also provide essential fatty acids, fibre, and minerals. The starch becomes highly digestible through the cooking process. When carefully selected and processed, carbohydrate sources like grains are valuable and high-quality components in dry dog food. Contrary to popular myths, dogs can effectively digest carbohydrates and absorb the nutrients—whether the source is grain or not. That said, carbohydrate intake should not exceed the dog’s digestive capacity. For dogs that require grain-free diets, EUKANUBA offers a wide range of Grain Free recipes. 

The EUKANUBA kibble is designed with a hexagon-shape and is tailored in size and thickness to suit the dog’s age and breed size. This helps support dental health by effectively reducing plaque during chewing. In addition, most EUKANUBA recipes contain a special mineral blend known as DentaDefense, which helps reduce the buildup of tartar. These minerals bind calcium in the dog’s saliva, reducing the hardening of plaque into tartar.

Only a few specific recipes—such as EUKANUBA Life Care Rich in Fresh Chicken Puppy L or EUKANUBA Special Care Mono-Protein—do not contain this blend due to nutritional or technical reasons. 

Fresh chicken provides highly digestible protein and enhances the food’s palatability. To ensure a high level of animal protein, EUKANUBA Life Care products also include high-quality dried poultry ingredients (chicken and turkey), which help meet the dog's needs for protein and essential amino acids.
