The label shows a table indicating the \u2018adult dog weight (kg)\u2019 and the puppy&#8217;s weight as a percentage of the adult weight.

The label shows a table indicating the \\u2018adult dog weight (kg)\\u2019 and the puppy&#8217;s weight as a percentage of the adult weight. To understand how many grams of supplement to give your puppy each day, follow these four simple steps:\\n\\n\\ndivide the puppy&#8217;s current weight by its expected adult weight;\\n\\n\\n\\nThe result is a number between 0 and 1; multiply it by 100.\\n\\n\\n\\nwhat you obtain is the percentage growth of the puppy;\\n\\n\\n\\nIf the percentage is less than or equal to 50%, follow the instructions in the first row; if the percentage is between 50 and 80%, follow the instructions in the second row; if the percentage is greater than 80%, follow the instructions in the third row.\\n\\n\\nLet&#8217;s take an example: A 12 kg Labrador puppy that will grow into a 30 kg adult dog.\\n\\n\\n12 : 30 = 0,4\\n\\n\\n\\n0,4 x 100 = 40\\n\\n\\n\\nThe puppy is at 40% of its growth.\\n\\n\\n\\n40% growth indicates that the puppy falls within the weight range \\u2018Up to 50% of adult weight\\u2019. Therefore, according to the table, a puppy in the weight range \\u2018up to 50% of adult weight\\u2019 that will grow to an adult weight of 30 kg should be fed 20 grams of V-Integra Puppy per day.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I noticed some yellowish balls in the supplement that I had never seen before. What are they?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The yellowish balls are microencapsulated vitamins that Vetekipp has recently chosen to use in V-Integra products. Vitamins are inherently unstable and degrade over time. The microencapsulation process is a protection system that preserves the biological properties of vitamins, ensuring their long-term persistence in the supplement. The formula of the supplements has not changed, but their quality has been significantly enhanced.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I want to make homemade food for my dog, but I don&#8217;t have much time to cook. What can I do?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Home-cooked meals for dogs and cats can be prepared once a week, making the preparation process much easier and more manageable. You will need to multiply the prescribed quantities by 7 and cook the ingredients. Once cooked and mixed evenly, they should be divided into 7 bags and stored in the freezer. Meat, vegetables and carbohydrates can be frozen, while oils, fats and vitamin and mineral supplements should be added before serving the food, which should be heated and left to cool.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I am feeding my dog a homemade diet. How much V-Integra supplement should I give him?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"La quantit\\u00e0 giornaliera di integratore varia principalmente al variare del peso dell\\u2019animale, come riportato nella tabella presente in etichetta. La quantit\\u00e0 di integratore pu\\u00f2 variare anche in base al tipo di dieta casalinga somministrata e per questo si consiglia di fare riferimento in primis alle indicazioni del nutrizionista.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"When I add the supplement, my cat refuses to eat homemade food. What can I do?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Cats are known to be wary of any new food, and adding the powdered supplement may cause them to refuse their home-cooked diet. It is advisable to start supplementation by adding V-Integra very gradually, beginning with 0.5 grams per day and increasing by 0.5 grams each day until the recommended amount is reached.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Should I add V-Integra to my dog\\\/cat&#8217;s home diet every day?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, V-Integra provides vitamins and minerals necessary to meet the daily nutritional needs of dogs and cats. The supplement should therefore be considered an essential ingredient in your pet&#8217;s daily diet, just like a source of protein or fat.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do V-Integra Cat and Kitten contain taurine?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, all V-Integra supplements, including those for dogs, contain taurine. This means that meat can be cooked in a cat&#8217;s homemade diet, as the supplement guarantees the intake of taurine, an essential nutrient for this species but one that is sensitive to heat.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"My dog\\\/cat has a food allergy and I am feeding him\\\/her an appropriate homemade diet. Can I use the V-Integra supplement?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, all V-Integra products are free from animal and vegetable proteins.

Can I also use the V-Integra supplement for him?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No, V-Integra is a supplement formulated for home-cooked diets. Industrial feed, whether wet or dry, already contains added minerals and vitamins.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I freeze or heat V-Integra animal supplements?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No, the supplement should not be frozen with food or heated with it to avoid inactivating vitamins that are sensitive to heat.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should the V-Integra home diet supplement be administered?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"V-Integra is a powdered vitamin and mineral supplement that should be added daily to your dog or cat&#8217;s home-cooked diet. It comes with a measuring scoop inside. The supplement should be weighed and administered at mealtimes, thoroughly mixed into warm homemade food. It can be administered at a single meal or distributed across several meals throughout the day, not necessarily in equal quantities.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why add a supplement to homemade dog and cat food?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Despite the wide variety of ingredients it contains, a home-cooked diet is still deficient in numerous minerals and vitamins such as calcium, copper, iron and vitamin A. There are two main reasons for this.\\nThe ingredients used, whether raw or cooked, do not contain enough of these nutrients, even when served in the right quantities.\\nCooking food causes a partial loss of nutrients (e.g. vitamins). The V-Integra supplement is specially formulated to compensate for these deficiencies, providing all the vitamins and minerals that dogs and cats need on a daily basis, and making the homemade diet complete and balanced.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I want to switch to a homemade diet for my dog\\\/cat. What should I do?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is important not to improvise with DIY solutions and to be wary of advice and homemade diet recipes found on the internet or in newspapers and magazines. The formulation of a homemade diet should be entrusted to a competent professional who specialises in dog and cat nutrition. In fact, it must be based on the characteristics of the dog or cat and adapted to their lifestyle. Its composition must satisfy both the energy and nutritional needs of the animal. It must also be monitored over time.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the home diet?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A homemade diet for dogs and cats is a type of nutrition based on the use of fresh ingredients and a vitamin and mineral supplement.
