Why Choose Vitalin Chicken with Thyme for Your Puppy?

If you're looking for a natural, grain-free dry puppy food built around real chicken and wholesome root vegetables, Vitalin Chicken with Thyme Puppy delivers genuine nutritional value at every stage of your puppy's development. Built around 37% chicken — including 10% freshly prepared chicken, dried chicken, and a rich chicken gravy — and slow-cooked with potato, sweet potato, peas, carrot, and parsnip, this grain-free recipe has been specially developed for growing puppies. Added salmon oil provides DHA for brain and eye development, while prebiotics and paraprobiotics support a healthy gut from the very start. Available now at Feedem with free UK mainland delivery on qualifying orders.

Key Benefits

What Age Is Vitalin Puppy Food Suitable For?

Vitalin Chicken with Thyme Puppy is suitable from weaning through to adulthood — the exact transition age depends on your dog's breed size. Small breeds typically reach adulthood at around 10–12 months, medium breeds at 12–18 months, and large or giant breeds at 18–24 months. Once your puppy reaches adulthood, transition them gradually to an adult recipe such as the Vitalin Chicken with Thyme & Root Veg Adult Grain Free.

Is Vitalin Puppy Food Grain Free?

Yes — Vitalin Chicken with Thyme Puppy is completely grain free, using potato and sweet potato as digestible, slow-release carbohydrate sources instead of wheat, barley, or oats. This makes it an excellent choice for puppies with grain sensitivities, or owners who prefer a grain-free diet from the start.

Why Is Salmon Oil Important in Puppy Food?

Salmon oil is a rich natural source of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) — omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for healthy brain and eye development in growing puppies. DHA in particular plays a critical role in cognitive development and trainability in young dogs, making it a key ingredient in a quality puppy food.

How Much Should I Feed My Puppy?

Puppy feeding amounts vary significantly depending on your puppy's age, breed size, and activity level. A full feeding guide is included below — as a general rule, puppies should be fed three to four times per day when young, reducing to twice daily as they mature. Always transition gradually over 5–10 days when introducing Vitalin to avoid digestive upset. Always ensure fresh drinking water is available.

How Do I Transition My Puppy to Adult Food?

When your puppy reaches the appropriate age for their breed size, gradually transition them to an adult recipe over 7–10 days — mixing increasing amounts of adult food with decreasing amounts of puppy food. The Vitalin Chicken with Thyme & Root Veg Adult Grain Free 12kg is the natural next step, keeping the same flavour profile your dog already loves.
