Collection: Wet food for puppies

When you have a puppy, you are also in a pretty serious “building period”. Bones, muscles, brain and immune system are in full swing, and food is not just “food”, it is raw material. Wet food for puppies is for many the most straightforward solution because it is typically more appetizing, easier to chew and easier for a fussy little stomach to handle.

At FjeldgaardShop.dk we focus on quality, animal welfare and transparent choices. This means that you can find wet puppy food where you don't have to be a food detective to understand the contents. And yes, we know that you want a clear answer: You should choose a complete food that suits the puppy's age, size and stomach, and that is made with proper ingredients.

Wet food can be a game changer during puppyhood, especially if you experience one of the classic challenges:

• Pickiness : Many puppies eat more willingly when the smell and texture are delicious.
  
• Gentle start : Soft texture is gentle on new teeth and sensitive gums.
  
• Liquid in the food : Wet food provides extra liquid, which can be beneficial for puppies who don't drink much.
  
• 
  Easier portioning : You can weigh and adjust the amount precisely to avoid overfeeding.
  

It's also a great solution if you want to combine it with dry food, for example as a topping. It can increase your appetite without having to change your entire routine.

Here is the practical checklist that we use ourselves when advising clients:

1) Check if it is complete food for puppies

There is a big difference between complete food and supplementary food. For a puppy, the base should typically be complete food so that vitamins and minerals are in balance.

2) Match the puppy's size and breed

Small and large breeds do not have the same needs. Large breeds often need special attention to the correct mineral balance for stable growth.

3) Look at protein sources and fat

Puppies need energy and building blocks. Look for clear animal ingredients and a recipe that appears “clean” on the label.

4) Choose according to stomach and skin

If your puppy is constantly farting, has a soft stomach, is scratching or has red ears, you may want to choose a more gentle product, possibly with one primary protein source.

“Grain-free” isn’t magic. But it can be an advantage if your puppy reacts to certain grains, or if you want a food with a higher focus on animal ingredients. Grain-free wet food for puppies is often chosen for three reasons:

• The puppy has a sensitive stomach.
  
• You want to minimize unnecessary fillers.
  
• You want a simpler ingredient image.
  

Important: Grain-free does not automatically mean better. The best choice is what your puppy thrives on and provides stable stools, a nice coat, and good energy.

Many dog ​​owners choose to combine wet food and dry food to provide variety and extra nutrition. At Fjeldgaard Shop you will find:

• Dry food for a solid base in the diet
• Complementary feed for special needs
• Treats for dogs for training and activity

By combining the types of food, you can tailor the diet to your dog's specific needs. A combination of wet food and dry food can provide the best of both worlds: dry food contributes to dental hygiene and long-lasting satiety, while wet food provides extra fluid and a great taste that especially appeals to picky dogs. Supplementary food can be used as extra support for, for example, joints, skin or digestion, and treats are ideal for rewarding the dog and creating joy in everyday life. In this way, you can put together a varied and balanced diet that covers all the dog's needs throughout life.

Gluten-free makes especially sense if you have a puppy with a tendency to stomach upset, or if you know there are sensitivities in the lines. Many choose gluten-free to keep it simple and gentle during the period when the stomach is still “learning” to function stably.

If you are switching to gluten-free, take it easy. Puppies respond best to changes that happen gradually, not overnight.

To get the most out of wet food, follow these tips:

1. Always serve wet food at room temperature to preserve the taste and aroma.
2. Store opened wet food in the refrigerator and use it within 2-3 days.
3. Mix wet food with dry food to create variety.
4. Always keep fresh water nearby.
5. Choose the right portion so that your dog gets sufficient nutrition without becoming overweight.

“Made in the EU” is not just a feel-good label. For many, it is about traceability, standards and control. When wet food is made in the EU, we often experience:

• More transparent raw material chains
  
• More consistent quality from batch to batch
  
• Clearer declarations and standards
  

And if, like us, you care about sustainability, EU production is often also a choice that can reduce unnecessarily long transport chains.

Puppies typically need several meals a day. A simple rule of thumb for everyday feeding:

• 8–12 weeks : several small meals spread throughout the day
  
• 3–6 months : gradually fewer meals
  
• 6–12 months : moving towards puppy routine
  

Always use the manufacturer's recommended feeding amount as a starting point, and adjust according to the puppy's well-being. You should be able to feel the ribs without them sticking out, and the puppy should have energy without being "hyper and empty" all the time.

Changing food without drama

If you want to switch to a new wet food, do it over 5–7 days. Start with a small portion of the new food and increase slowly. This is the classic method because it still works.
