Cherish – Playful Puppy
Give your puppy the best start in life. Cherish Playful Puppy supports brain development, steady growth, and everyday vitality. It uses a unique blend of plant-based fatty acids and DHA from marine algae and deep-sea fish oils. Protein is balanced with calcium for safe muscle and skeletal development. A trio of ancient grains supplies low-GI energy to fuel play, training, and rest.
Why “Mind–Body–Spirit” matters for growing pups
Puppies grow fast. Brains, bones, and behaviour change week by week. Food should help them learn, move, and cope with new sights and sounds. Cherish Playful Puppy brings together MCTs, Algal DHA, quality proteins, prebiotics, and antioxidants. The goal is simple: calm focus, strong bodies, and total wellbeing.
For Mind
- COCO MCT™ to feed the mind: Medium Chain Triglycerides are special fats that the body can use for quick energy. COCO MCT™ is natural and sustainable, extracted from pure coconut oil. It helps support total wellbeing and cognitive health.
- Algal DHA: DHA supports rapid brain development. It assists learning and memory so your puppy can concentrate for longer and pick up cues faster.
- L-Tryptophan: An essential amino acid that the body can convert to serotonin. It supports a balanced temperament during key socialisation windows.
For Body
- 85% Protein from Meat: Quality hormone-free chicken and Tasmanian salmon help build lean muscle and strong bones.
- Balanced, not excessive: Too much protein can stress growing bodies. Cherish balances protein with calcium to support safe skeletal growth.
- Low GI energy: Ancient grains help deliver steady energy for training and play without spikes and dips.
- Prebiotics and microbiome support: Ingredients including chicory root (FOS), MOS, and beet pulp nourish beneficial gut bacteria. A healthy gut supports digestion and immunity.
For Spirit
- Fruit & Vegetables: Blueberries, cranberries, apple, tomato, turmeric and more provide antioxidants for whole-body wellbeing.
- Essential Vitamins & Minerals: A complete, scientifically selected range—including chelated minerals—supports vision, heart function, digestion, and resilience.
- Omega-3 & Omega-6 EFAs: A specific, balanced blend with high EPA supports skin, coat, and healthy development.

Feeding and transition tips (Australia)
- Check the daily portion: Use the pack chart for age and expected adult size. Puppies change fast. Recheck monthly.
- Split into 2–3 meals: Small, regular meals support digestion and even energy for training.
- Transition over 5–7 days: Mix in more Cherish and less of the old food each day to avoid tummy upset.
- Hydration matters: Keep fresh water available—especially in warmer climates across QLD, NT, and WA summers.
- Adjust for activity: On big play days, offer a little more. During quiet days, scale back.

Expert insight
“Balanced nutrition in the first 12 months sets habits for life. DHA for the brain, MCTs for focus, and prebiotics for gut health can make training smoother and growth more comfortable.” — Dr Jay Rollings (BSc DVM)
Good to know
Every puppy is unique. If you notice loose stools, itch, or low appetite, speak with your vet. For large-breed puppies, follow the portion chart closely to protect joints and growth plates. Store food in a cool, dry place with the bag sealed to preserve freshness.
