We do not measure phosphorous levels in our foods. If your dog requires a low/high phosphorous
level on advice from your vet, you will need a specialist food. Your vet should be able to advise you.

The point at when you change over from puppy to adult food is a personal choice. General advice is to begin to make the change once your puppy is around three-quarters expected adult size and
many people choose to do so at some point between 9 and 18 months. 

The main difference between our puppy and adult varieties is that puppy contains higher levels of protein to assist with the high growth rate associated with that life stage. Our adult varieties are suitable to feed from the age of 8 weeks, although when feeding an adult variety to a growing puppy we do advise that you feed according to your puppy's appetite. This ensures they grow at the correct rate and consume enough nutrients to support this.

We do not add sugar to our Harringtons dog food but there are natural sugars present in the
ingredients. Usually complex carbohydrates such as those found in whole grain are best as these are broken down in the digestive system slowly and so avoid peaks and troughs in the sugar levels in the body. In most of our foods we do use whole grain wheat and/or maize which take longer to digest. We therefore do not recommend grain free food for diabetic dogs.

It is often a good idea to feed your dog small portions of food more often as this will also help to keep sugar levels stable.
