What nutritional needs should be considered for the Puli breed?

Pulik are energetic herders and do best on diets rich in lean, easily digested proteins and carbohydrates that release energy slowly. These ingredients help keep them light on their feet for long play sessions or rambles across the countryside.

A Puli's corded coat needs thoughtful nutritional support. Omega-rich sources such as salmon and flaxseed add shine and can reduce matting, while also caring for the skin beneath the cords. Active Pulik also benefit from Omega-3s for joint comfort and long - term mobility.

Pulik can be sensitive around food, so gently slow-cooked ingredients tend to cause fewer tummy upsets. Proper calorie control is important for their small-to-medium frame to maintain an athletic build without excess weight. Each Marleybones Pantry Fresh® meal arrives perfectly portioned to suit your dog's needs, making it simple to maintain a healthy weight and routine.
