Why Butternut Box is great for puppies
Puppies' nutritional needs are different to adults and golden oldies. A fine balance of protein, fats, vitamins and minerals is essential for their optimal development.

Calcium is responsible for strong bones. However, them bones them bones, they don’t need too much calcium! If a large breed dog gets too much calcium, it can cause abnormal bone growth, leading to expensive and painful problems in the future. That’s because puppies have trouble regulating how much calcium is absorbed from their intestine. Sadly, that’s not all. Feeding too little calcium can also lead to problems. That’s why it’s so important to feed a dog food that contains the correct balance of calcium and other minerals such as phosphorus and zinc.
You might find it tricky to work out how much your puppy should be eating: it depends on their age, breed, weight and how much exercise they’re getting. Did you know puppies that are overweight as youngsters are more likely to battle with their weight as adults? Research has shown that dogs who remain slim tend to live 15% longer than their chubby brothers and sisters. Not only that, but they develop illnesses later in life. This means, dogs who eat just right, live a longer and better life. By perfectly portioning every meal, Butternut Box calculates exactly how much your puppy needs to eat. With no scooping ever required, guesswork goes out the window.
