Karoo Puppy: Small/Medium vs. Large/Giant

Small & Medium Puppy

Accelerated Energy – High-calorie density to fuel rapid growth and high metabolism.

Small & Crunchy – Designed for tiny jaws to encourage chewing and easy swallowing.

Joint Support – Standard levels for active, light-weight play.

DHA & Taurine – Focused on cognitive development and vision for smart, alert pups.

Kaolin – Coats the gut to prevent “runny tummies” in sensitive small breeds.

Primary Protein – Chicken & Lamb (27% Protein)

Large & Giant Puppy

Growth Tempo Control – Controlled energy and minerals to prevent growing “too fast.”

Large & Robust – Larger kibble to prevent “gulping” and encourage slower eating.

Extra Glucosamine & Chondroitin – High levels to support heavy bones and developing cartilage.

DHA & Taurine – Focused on heart health and steady neurological development.

Inulin & Beet Pulp – Prebiotics to ensure heavy-duty digestion and firm stools.

Primary Protein – Chicken & Lamb (27% Protein)

The “Why” Behind the Difference

Small & Medium Breed Puppy

These puppies reach adulthood quickly (often by 10–12 months). Because they are so active and have smaller stomachs, they need nutrient-dense food.

• The Goal: To pack as much brain-building DHA and energy into every small bite as possible.
• Special Ingredient: Kaolin is the hero here—it acts as a natural digestive soother to ensure their fast-moving systems actually absorb the nutrients they eat.

Large & Giant Breed Puppy

These puppies are at high risk for skeletal issues (like hip dysplasia) if they gain weight too fast or get too much Calcium. They can take up to 24 months to fully mature.

• The Goal: Slow and steady wins the race. The food is slightly lower in fat and strictly balanced in Calcium and Phosphorus to ensure their bones harden at the same rate their body weight increases.
• Special Ingredient: Natural Glucosamine levels are pushed higher to act as “shock absorbers” for their joints as they get heavier.
