These recipes carry higher protein and energy for growth, added omega 3 for brain and eye development, and joint support while cartilage is still forming — with calcium and phosphorus held at levels that build bone steadily rather than fast. Kibble is sized for a puppy's mouth, and the Kennel Complete Mother & Puppy is formulated for large and giant breeds and for mothers in whelp and in milk.
Older dogs move less but still need protein — often more of it, and more digestible — to hold on to lean muscle.

Good choices for a dog who has slowed down but has plenty of years in them yet.
The same 65% meat Five Star recipes, made in a smaller kibble — 10mm across and 5mm thick, shaped to suit smaller mouths and easier for a little dog to pick up and chew.
