Product Details
Autarky Puppy/Junior Delicious Chicken 12kg — Better Value as Your Puppy Grows
The 12kg bag of Autarky Puppy/Junior Delicious Chicken is the smart choice for owners of larger breeds, fast-growing puppies, or multi-dog households who want to stock up and save on a recipe their puppy already loves. This wheat-gluten and soya free puppy food built on natural ingredients is a complete dry food designed to give your puppy the best possible start. Built around 34% poultry meal (minimum chicken) and enriched with chicken fat, chicken liver, and a thoughtful blend of herbs, vegetables, and botanicals, it delivers the correct balance of protein, energy, minerals, and trace nutrients to support healthy growth and development. Added vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and taurine support neural development and learning, while antioxidants, prebiotics, and herbs protect the immune system and promote digestive health. Smaller kibbles are sized for smaller mouths, and the recipe is VAT free — available now at Feedem with free UK mainland delivery on qualifying orders.
Key Benefits
- Supports neural development & learning — vitamin E, taurine, and essential fatty acids for healthy brain and nervous system growth
- Immune system support — antioxidants and added herbs help protect your puppy's developing immune system
- Prebiotics promote digestive health — yeast-derived mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) support a balanced gut microbiome
- Smaller kibbles for smaller mouths — sized to suit puppies and junior dogs of all breeds
- Essential fatty acids — linseed provides omega-3 and omega-6 for healthy skin and coat development
- Wheat-gluten and soya free — a natural recipe free from common allergens
- VAT free — no VAT on this complete puppy food
Who Is the 12kg Bag Best Suited To?
The 12kg bag offers excellent value per kilogram and is ideal for owners of medium to large breed puppies who eat more as they grow, multi-dog households, or anyone feeding Autarky Puppy/Junior Chicken as a regular staple. If you're trying the recipe for the first time or have a smaller breed puppy, the Autarky Puppy/Junior Delicious Chicken 2kg is a great starting point before committing to the larger bag.
What Age Is Autarky Puppy/Junior Suitable For?
Autarky Puppy/Junior Delicious Chicken is suitable from weaning through to the junior stage — typically up to 12 months for small and medium breeds, and up to 18–24 months for larger breeds. Once your dog reaches adulthood, you can transition them to an Autarky adult recipe. Always consult your vet if you're unsure when to make the switch based on your dog's breed and development.
How Much Should I Feed My Puppy?
Feeding amounts vary depending on your puppy's expected adult weight, current age, and activity level. A full feeding guide is included in the product details below. As a general rule, puppies should be fed three to four times per day when young, reducing to twice daily as they approach adulthood. When switching to Autarky, transition gradually over 5–10 days to allow your puppy's digestive system to adjust. Always ensure fresh drinking water is available.
Is Autarky Puppy/Junior Grain Free?
No — Autarky Puppy/Junior Delicious Chicken contains maize and rice as digestible carbohydrate sources, providing steady energy to fuel your puppy's growth and activity. The recipe is wheat-gluten and soya free, making it a good choice for puppies with sensitivities to those specific ingredients. If you're looking for a grain-free puppy option, browse our full Puppy Dry Dog Food range for alternatives.
Does Autarky Puppy/Junior Support Brain Development?
Yes — the recipe includes vitamin E, taurine, and essential fatty acids (omega-3 from linseed), all of which play an important role in neural development and cognitive function during the critical early months of a puppy's life. These nutrients help support learning, memory, and healthy nervous system development as your puppy grows.
What Makes Autarky Different From Other Puppy Foods?
Autarky is a natural, British-made puppy food that avoids wheat gluten and soya — two common ingredients that can cause sensitivities in some dogs. The recipe uses a rich blend of herbs, botanicals, and vegetables including alfalfa, carrot, peas, seaweed, tomato, milk thistle, yucca, marigold, nettle, mint, rosemary, blackcurrant, pomegranate, rosehip, spinach, beetroot, fenugreek, thyme, and more — going well beyond the basics to deliver a genuinely wholesome recipe at an accessible price point.
What Other Autarky Recipes Are Available?
Autarky offers a range of natural recipes to suit dogs at every life stage. Once your puppy reaches adulthood, explore the full Autarky Dog Food collection at Feedem for adult and senior options.

Introduce the diet gradually over 5–7 days. Mix the food with hot water and stir until a gruel is formed, ensuring all puppies in the litter get an equal share. Once weaned, feed dry or moistened with water or gravy to the consistency your puppy prefers.
The amounts shown are the total daily intake. Divide into 6 meals per day up to 2 months, 4 meals from 2–3 months, then gradually reduce to 2 meals per day. Feed sufficient to maintain steady growth — do not attempt to grow your puppy too fast. Do not change diet at the same time as weaning or moving to a new home.
As your puppy gets older, feed in conjunction with a regular exercise programme to maintain optimum weight for their breed and size. Always ensure fresh drinking water is available. Avoid excessive treats or titbits.
