FOCUS PUPPY DRY FOOD (XS)

Drools Focus All Breed Puppy Dry Food, crafted by Drools Pet Food Private Limited, is a super premium, scientifically formulated complete dry food designed to address the most critical nutritional challenge in a dog's life: the transition from mother's milk to solid food through the high-demand growth phase of three to twelve months of age. This is the period during which your canine companion's bones mineralise, muscles develop, the nervous system matures, immunity is established, and metabolic energy requirements are at their lifetime peak. Suboptimal nutrition during this window has lifelong consequences. Drools Focus Puppy targets each of these developmental priorities with precision, delivering real chicken as the number one ingredient, grain-inclusive whole-food carbohydrates for digestive support, and a comprehensive micronutrient matrix covering everything from brain-building DHA to joint-reinforcing glucosamine and chondroitin. Formulated with no wheat, no corn, no soya, no chicken by-products, and no artificial colours or flavours, this is a clean-label, AAFCO-aligned formula that places your growing pup's health above all else. Animeal is proud to offer Drools Focus All Breed Puppy Dry Food as part of our commitment to delivering India's finest, science-backed, veterinarian-approved nutrition to your beloved canine companion.

Ingredients:

Real Chicken (greater than 40%):Real chicken is the primary and most abundant ingredient in Drools Focus Puppy, constituting over 40% of the formula by weight. As a whole-muscle animal protein, real chicken provides a complete array of essential amino acids, including lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan, which are indispensable for the synthesis of skeletal muscle proteins, the production of structural collagen, and the enzymatic and hormonal functions that drive a puppy's rapid growth. Animal-sourced protein also delivers a high biological value, meaning the amino acids are readily absorbed and utilised at the cellular level with minimal digestive effort. Unlike chicken by-products or chicken meal of unspecified origin, Drools uses only clean, edible parts of the bird that meet human food safety standards, ensuring your canine companion receives the highest-quality protein available in Indian-made pet food.

Whole Dried Eggs:Whole dried eggs are among the most nutritionally complete protein sources available in pet nutrition, with an extremely high biological value and an exceptional amino acid profile. Beyond protein, eggs contribute lecithin, a natural emulsifier that supports the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and choline, which plays a critical role in neurological development and cognitive function during puppyhood. The fat content in egg yolk also provides arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid important for skin barrier integrity and inflammatory signalling.

Long Grain Rice:Long grain rice is a highly digestible, low-allergen carbohydrate that provides a sustained release of glucose to support the high energy demands of a growing puppy's metabolic processes. Unlike corn or wheat, rice is gentle on the gastrointestinal tract and is less likely to trigger food sensitivities. It also contains trace B vitamins that support energy metabolism and neurological health.

Oatmeal (Oats):Oatmeal contributes soluble dietary fibre in the form of beta-glucans, which support the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria and promote prebiotic activity in the gut. Oats also contribute complex carbohydrates for steady energy availability and contain tocopherols that act as natural antioxidants, protecting cellular integrity from oxidative stress.

Flaxseed Oil (Linum usitatissimum):Flaxseed oil is a premium plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a parent omega-3 fatty acid that the body partially converts to EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). ALA supports the regulation of inflammatory pathways, contributes to the maintenance of healthy skin lipid barriers, and helps maintain coat gloss and texture. It works synergistically with fish-derived omega-3s to optimise the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in the diet.

Sunflower Oil:Sunflower oil is a concentrated source of linoleic acid, the primary omega-6 fatty acid responsible for maintaining the integrity of the skin's epidermal moisture barrier. Adequate omega-6 intake during puppyhood ensures the skin remains resistant to dryness, flaking, and secondary infections, while contributing to the soft, shiny coat that reflects a puppy's overall nutritional wellbeing.

Fish Oil:Fish oil is the formula's direct source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, specifically docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA is a structural component of neuronal membranes and retinal photoreceptor cells, making it absolutely critical for the development of a puppy's brain and vision during the first year of life. EPA contributes to the resolution of inflammation at the cellular level and supports cardiovascular and joint health.

Beet Pulp:Beet pulp is a moderately fermentable dietary fibre source derived from sugar beet. It acts as a prebiotic substrate, selectively nourishing beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in the colon while inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic species. This supports stool formation, reduces the frequency of loose stools, and promotes a healthy transit time through the gastrointestinal tract.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulphate:Glucosamine (an amino monosaccharide) and chondroitin sulphate (a glycosaminoglycan) are structural components of articular cartilage and synovial fluid. During rapid skeletal growth, adequate levels of these compounds support the integrity of joint cartilage, reduce the risk of developmental orthopaedic conditions, and promote smooth, comfortable joint movement. Their inclusion in a puppy formula is particularly valuable for large and giant breed puppies whose skeletal development places high mechanical stress on joints.

Vitamins: Vitamin A (22,000 IU), Vitamin D3 (1,500 IU), Vitamin E (250 mg), Vitamin C (150 mg), Vitamin B1 (8 mg), Vitamin B2 (22 mg), Vitamin B6 (11 mg), Choline (2,500 mg), Folic Acid (2 mg), Beta-Carotene (50 mg):This comprehensive vitamin panel supports every major physiological system in a developing puppy. Vitamin A and beta-carotene support epithelial integrity, immune function, and vision. Vitamin D3 is essential for calcium and phosphorus metabolism and mineralisation of bones and teeth. Vitamins C and E function as potent antioxidants, neutralising free radicals and reinforcing immune defence. The B-complex vitamins, including B1, B2, and B6, are critical cofactors in energy metabolism, amino acid processing, and neurological function. Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, supporting memory, cognition, and nervous system development during the most sensitive developmental window.

Natural Antioxidants (Rosemary Extract), L-Carnitine, Probiotics and Prebiotics (FOS and MOS), Essential Amino Acids, Organic Minerals:Rosemary extract serves as a clean-label natural preservative and antioxidant, protecting the fatty acid content of the food from oxidative rancidity without the use of synthetic chemicals. L-Carnitine facilitates the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix, optimising fat metabolism and supporting lean muscle development. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) act as prebiotic fibres that selectively nourish beneficial gut flora and support the intestinal immune barrier. Organic minerals offer superior bioavailability compared to their inorganic counterparts, ensuring that trace elements such as zinc, selenium, and manganese are absorbed and utilised efficiently.
