Nutrition

Pumi nutrition must be high-quality and adapted to their considerable activity level. Food formulated for medium-sized, very active dogs will provide the necessary energy. It is recommended to divide the daily ration into two meals for better digestion. Portion control is essential to prevent overweight, which could exacerbate joint problems. During their puppy stage, food with an appropriate calcium and phosphorus balance is vital for optimal bone development. Consult your veterinarian for a specific nutritional plan, especially if the dog has allergies or sensitivities. Fresh, clean water should always be available.
