I just want to know for when a get a puppy next. Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 5 years old | 17 lbs

Puppies will need a higher protein and fat percentage compared to an adult dog as they are still growing, and so put the extra calories to use. Foods for puppies will often be labeled as a puppy formula or for "all stages of growth" when looking for the correct formulation for a puppy. Glad I could help!
