MANKIND PETSTAR SALMON PUPPY DRY FOOD (M)

28% High-Protein, Cage-Free Chicken Formula for Rapid Healthy Growth:
At 28% crude protein derived primarily from cage-free chicken, PetStar Puppy delivers the elevated protein content required to support the intense skeletal muscle development, tissue repair, and organ growth that characterise the puppy life stage. The dual-format protein system dehydrated chicken for concentrated amino acid density and hydrolysed chicken for superior digestibility achieves a reported 79% protein bioavailability, ensuring that the nutritional investment in each meal translates into real, measurable muscle and body condition gains in your canine companion rather than simply passing through the gut unabsorbed.

Revolutionary Ayurvedic-Meets-Clinical-Nutrition Formulation:
PetStar Puppy is India's first mainstream puppy dry food to integrate two pharmacologically validated Ayurvedic herbal actives Ashwagandha and Milk Thistle into a BRCGS-certified, clinically balanced kibble formula. This fusion of evidence-based nutritional science with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda delivers a depth of systemic health support immune reinforcement, organ protection, stress modulation, and anabolic muscle support that no conventional kibble formula alone can offer your growing canine companion.

Proactive Liver and Kidney Defence Through Silymarin:
The inclusion of Silybum marianum (Milk Thistle) as a functional food ingredient represents a proactive rather than reactive approach to organ health in puppies. By continuously supplying silymarin-rich Milk Thistle through daily feeding, PetStar Puppy reinforces hepatocyte membrane stability, scavenges oxidative damage, and supports renal tubular cell integrity protecting the liver and kidneys of your canine companion during the developmental window when these organs are most susceptible to nutritional and environmental stressors.

Complete Gut Health Architecture: Prebiotics, Fibre, and Yeast:
PetStar Puppy's gut health design is multilayered and comprehensive: beet pulp and psyllium husk deliver fermentable fibre to nourish beneficial microbiota and regulate stool consistency; chicory extract (FOS) selectively stimulates Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus proliferation; MOS competitively blocks pathogen adhesion to the gut mucosa; and dried brewer's yeast provides beta-glucans and B vitamins to fuel both gut cell metabolism and immune activation. This four-component prebiotic and fibre system delivers the kind of microbiome architecture that supports optimal nutrient absorption, minimal digestive upset, and a robust mucosal immune barrier in your puppy's developing gastrointestinal tract.

Manufactured to BRCGS Standards in Wales, UK Formulated for the Indian Climate:
Every batch of PetStar Puppy is manufactured at the BRCGS-certified United Pet Foods facility in the Tywi Valley Food Park, Llangadog, Carmarthenshire, Wales subject to rigorous microbiological and chemical quality testing before export. Crucially, the formulation has been specifically tailored by a team of veterinary nutritionists to account for the hot, humid conditions of the Indian subcontinent, ensuring palatability, kibble stability, and nutritional integrity are maintained from the manufacturing facility in Wales to the food bowl of your canine companion across all Indian seasons and regions.

AAFCO and FEDIAF Compliant Internationally Benchmarked Nutrition:
PetStar Puppy is formulated in strict compliance with both AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) and FEDIAF (European Pet Food Industry Federation) nutritional guidelines the two most globally recognised standards for complete and balanced pet food nutrition. This dual international compliance ensures that every aspect of the formula from protein and fat levels through to micro-mineral ratios and vitamin fortification meets the highest benchmarks for growth-stage feeding in dogs of all breeds and sizes.

Completely Free of Artificial Colours, Preservatives, and Added Sugar:
PetStar Puppy contains no artificial colours, synthetic preservatives, or added sugars of any kind. Antioxidant preservation is achieved naturally through mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E), eliminating the risk of exposure to ethoxyquin, BHA, or BHT synthetic antioxidants associated with long-term health concerns in dogs. All raw materials are sourced from the finest European suppliers, including cage-free chicken from Wales, UK rapeseed oil, Norwegian salmon oil, and premium European linseed ingredients your canine companion deserves.

How to Use:

Introduce PetStar Puppy Dry Dog Food gradually over 7 to 10 days to allow your puppy's gastrointestinal system to adjust to the new diet and prevent digestive upset. Begin by mixing 25% PetStar with 75% of your puppy's current food on days 1 and 2, progressing to a 50:50 mix on days 3 and 4, 75% PetStar on days 5 and 6, and transitioning to 100% PetStar by day 7 onwards.

Storage Advice:

Store unopened Mankind PetStar Puppy Dry Dog Food in a cool, dry place below 25 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat sources. Do not freeze. The multilayer packaging is designed to preserve kibble freshness, palatability, and nutritional integrity from production through to opening. Once opened, roll the top of the bag tightly closed after each use and store in a cool, dry location, ideally in an airtight storage container, to protect the kibble from moisture absorption and oxidation in the Indian climate. Serve at room temperature -- do not microwave or heat. Do not use after the best-before date printed on the back of the bag.
