Balanced Nutrition, Built In

Four things every puppy needs. One bowl that covers them all.

Cobber recipes are formulated around the four building blocks of a healthy puppy — so you can spend less time worrying about the bag, and more time enjoying the puppy stage.

Growth

Steady, joint-safe growth

Controlled calcium and phosphorus levels help puppies — especially large breeds — grow at a safe, steady rate instead of a rapid spurt that strains developing joints.

Supports: healthy bones, hips and joints
Development

Sharper brain & immune development

Omega-3s, DHA and antioxidant-rich ingredients give growing puppies the building blocks for a sharp mind, strong eyesight and a resilient immune system.

Supports: brain, vision and immunity
Digestion

Easy on tiny, developing tummies

Gently cooked, human-grade ingredients with natural fibre are simple to digest — helping settle soft stools and reduce the tummy upsets common in young pups.

Supports: firmer stools, happy gut
Wellbeing

Shiny coat, steady energy, happy pup

Real, bioavailable protein and healthy fats show up in the small things — a glossy coat, consistent energy and a puppy who's genuinely excited for mealtimes.

Supports: coat health and daily energy
Sensitive Tummies

Extra care for allergies & sensitivities

Some puppies need more than the basics. Our single-protein hypoallergenic recipe removes common triggers for itchy skin and food sensitivities.

Supports: skin health, fewer flare-ups
Transparency

Know exactly what's in the bowl

Every ingredient is named on the pack, every batch is tested, and every recipe is reviewed by veterinary nutritionists — so there's nothing to guess at.

Supports: peace of mind, every meal

The Growth Path

Puppy nutrition needs change every few months — so does our feeding plan

Your puppy's portion is recalculated at each stage, based on weight, breed size and activity — not a generic chart on the back of a bag.

01

8–12 weeks · Settling In

Small, frequent meals (3–4/day) on a softened, easy-to-digest recipe while your puppy adjusts to solid food and a new home.

02

3–6 months · Peak Growth

Calorie and protein needs rise fast during teething and the biggest growth spurt — portions increase weekly, not monthly.

03

6–12 months · Building Muscle

Growth rate slows and steadies. Meals shift to 2/day, with continued joint and coat support as coordination develops.

04

12–24 months · Adult Transition

Small breeds transition around 10–14 months; large and giant breeds stay on growth formula until 18–24 months.

Fresh vs. Off-the-Shelf Kibble

Thinking about switching from a supermarket or pet-store brand?

A lot of puppy parents come to us after trying a mass-market dry kibble — like the Advance® or Optimum® ranges sold at supermarkets and pet stores — and finding their puppy's skin, stools or energy just aren't quite right. Here's how the two categories generally compare.

What matters Typical dry kibble Cobber Fresh
Processing High-heat extruded, shelf-stable for 12+ months Gently cooked at low temperature, frozen fresh
Ingredient list Often blended meat meals + multiple grains Single named protein per recipe, short list
Allergy management Limited single-protein options Dedicated hypoallergenic recipe
Large breed calcium control Varies by range and size variant Ca:P ratio ≤ 1.5:1, formulated for slow growth
Portioning Generic weight-range chart on the bag Personalised, updated at each growth stage
Where to buy Supermarkets, pet stores, online marketplaces Direct online, delivered fresh to your door

Real Puppies, Real Results

What changes when the food changes

★★★★★

Our cavoodle had itchy skin for months on her old kibble. Three weeks on the Kangaroo recipe and the scratching's basically gone. Wish we'd switched sooner.

— Priya & Bindi, Cavoodle, 7 months
★★★★★

We've got a Great Dane pup, so joint health was our biggest worry. The large breed formula and the growth plan made the whole first year so much less stressful.

— Tom, Great Dane, 11 months
★★★★★

Firmer poos within a week of switching from our old brand. He also actually gets excited at mealtimes now, which he never did before.

— Aisha & Rocky, Kelpie X, 5 months
Puppy Food FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we get asked most

What is the best puppy food for a puppy with itchy skin or allergies?+
The best option is usually a single, novel-protein recipe with no cheap fillers, since most skin flare-ups trace back to a sensitivity to a common protein, grain or additive. Our Hypoallergenic Kangaroo recipe uses one protein source and a short ingredient list, which is easier on a reactive gut and skin barrier than a heavily processed, multi-protein kibble.
What's the difference between hypoallergenic puppy food and regular puppy food?+
Hypoallergenic puppy food uses one novel protein and a short, simple ingredient list, so there's less for a sensitive immune system to react to. Regular puppy food blends multiple protein and grain sources — fine for most puppies, but it can trigger itching, ear infections or soft stools in the roughly 1 in 10 puppies with a food sensitivity.
Do large breed puppies need a different puppy food?+
Yes. Large and giant breed puppies need controlled calcium and phosphorus and a lower energy density, because growing too fast strains developing joints and raises the risk of hip and elbow dysplasia. Our large breed formula keeps the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio at or below 1.5:1 to support slow, steady growth instead of a rapid spurt.
What's actually in Cobber's puppy food recipes?+
Every recipe leads with a single named protein — free-range chicken, wild kangaroo or lean beef — plus vegetables, healthy fats and a fish oil source for omega-3s. Nothing is labelled as a vague "meat meal" or "derivative"; every ingredient is printed on the pack and the full nutrition panel is on each product page.
Is fresh puppy food better than dry kibble?+
Fresh puppy food is gently cooked at lower temperatures than extruded kibble, which preserves more natural nutrients and tends to digest more easily. It isn't a strict requirement for a healthy puppy, but many owners see firmer stools, less itching and steadier energy after switching from an ultra-processed kibble to a fresh, human-grade recipe.
How much should I feed my puppy each day?+
It depends on your puppy's current weight, expected adult size, age and activity level, so there's no single number that fits every dog. We calculate a starting portion from those details at checkout and adjust it as your puppy hits each growth milestone — usually 3–4 smaller meals a day under 6 months, then 2 meals after.
When do I switch my puppy from puppy food to adult food?+
Most small and medium breeds are ready between 10 and 14 months, while large and giant breeds should usually stay on a puppy or large-breed growth formula until 18 to 24 months. The clearest sign is growth slowing down as your puppy nears their expected adult weight — your vet can confirm timing at a check-up.
How do I switch my puppy from Advance, Optimum or another brand to Cobber?+
Switch gradually over 7–10 days, since a sudden full swap is the most common cause of an upset tummy. Start at roughly 25% Cobber mixed with 75% current food for two days, move to a 50/50 mix, then 75% Cobber, before feeding Cobber on its own from about day eight.
Is Cobber puppy food complete and balanced?+
Yes — every recipe is formulated to meet AAFCO and FEDIAF nutrient profiles for growth and reviewed by veterinary nutritionists, so it can be fed as your puppy's sole diet without extra supplementation.
