Puppy Chews For Immunity & Growth Supplement
Verified Jun 16, 2026
A high-calorie chewable supplement designed to support puppies during growth, using colostrum as a key ingredient for additional immune and tissue support. The formula relies on flax meal and palm fruit oil for calories and fat, with added probiotics, beta-glucans, and turmeric for gut and immune-related benefits. It’s meant to be used alongside a complete and balanced puppy diet, not as a primary food source.
This is a specialized supplement intended to boost calorie intake and provide extra immune and digestive support ingredients for growing puppies. The use of colostrum, flax meal, and probiotic-fortified components can be helpful in certain situations, such as underweight or very active puppies, when used with a complete puppy food. Because it’s not a full diet and we don’t have full nutrient data, it’s best viewed as an add-on rather than something all puppies automatically need.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Designed specifically for puppies, with colostrum to provide additional immune and growth-supporting components on top of a regular diet.
- High-calorie chew format can help puppies who need extra energy or have higher activity levels or trouble maintaining weight.
- Includes flax meal and palm fruit oil as energy and fatty acid sources, plus beta-glucans, brewers dried yeast, and probiotics aimed at supporting gut and immune function.
- Free from added sugar, gluten, wheat, and artificial flavors, which may appeal to owners managing specific dietary preferences or mild sensitivities.
Considerations
- This is a supplement, not a complete and balanced puppy food, so it must be fed alongside an appropriate puppy diet to meet all nutrient needs.
- The high-calorie nature may not be ideal for puppies already at a healthy weight or those prone to rapid weight gain; portions should be used carefully to avoid excess calories.
- Brewers dried yeast and natural bacon flavor can be problem ingredients for the small number of dogs with sensitivities to yeast or pork-derived flavors.
- Contains glycerin and molasses, which are safe in moderation but do contribute extra calories and may not be necessary for all puppies.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Flaxseed
Flaxseed is used in pet foods as a plant-based source of alpha‑linolenic acid (ALA) omega‑3, soluble and insoluble fiber, and modest protein, often added to support skin and coat condition, digestive health, and kibble texture; ground seed or flaxseed oil is more digestible than whole seed. Dogs can partially convert ALA to long‑chain EPA/DHA but cats convert ALA poorly and therefore still need marine sources for essential DHA/EPA; flax is calorie‑dense, prone to oxidation if not stabilized, and contains lignans (phytoestrogens) and trace cyanogenic compounds, so it should be processed and used in moderation.
02
Colostrum
Colostrum is the antibody‑rich first milk from mammals used in pet foods and supplements to provide immune support and gut‑health benefits through concentrated proteins, immunoglobulins, growth factors and other bioactive compounds. It may aid neonatal passive immunity, intestinal barrier function and recovery during illness or stress in dogs and cats, but efficacy depends on source and processing, and it can cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in animals with dairy sensitivity and should not replace proper neonatal care or vaccinations.
03
Lecithin
Lecithin is commonly used in pet foods as an emulsifier and texture stabilizer—typically derived from soy, sunflower, or egg—and supplies phospholipids (such as phosphatidylcholine) that help disperse fats and maintain product consistency. In small amounts it contributes choline and supports fat digestion and cell membrane health, but it is not a primary nutrient source; soy-derived lecithin may be a consideration for pets with soy sensitivities and very high intakes can occasionally cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
04
Tinospora Cordifolia
Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi) is a botanical herb used in some pet supplements for its purported immunomodulatory, antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory effects rather than as a source of protein, fat or fiber. While traditional use and preliminary studies suggest it may support immune and liver health and reduce oxidative stress, evidence in dogs and cats is limited and pet owners should consult a veterinarian because dosing, potential interactions (for example with immunosuppressive or hypoglycemic medications), gastrointestinal upset, allergic reactions, or issues in pregnant animals are possible.
05
Beta-Glucan
Beta-glucan is a soluble fiber and bioactive polysaccharide often added to pet foods or supplements (commonly sourced from yeast, oats, or barley) for its prebiotic and immune-modulating properties, which may support gut health and enhance innate immune responses in dogs and cats. It is generally considered safe at typical dietary levels but can cause gastrointestinal upset at high doses, efficacy and optimal dosing vary by source and formulation, and pet owners should consult a veterinarian for animals on immunosuppressive therapy or with specific sensitivities.
