LifeWise understands that a puppy's very first food is crucial for setting the foundation for future health. Stage 1 Starter is carefully designed for puppies of all breeds and sizes as they transition from mother's milk.

This formula is completely GRAIN FREE, offering a hypoallergenic option free from gluten, dairy, wheat, corn, soy, and artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives.
