The authors see energy components extremely relevant for animals and their health. Due to this fact, diets with energy components that satisfy pets with nutrients at different stages of growth is significant issue in veterinary nutrition. This could be achieved when applying diets that contain balanced necessary components. The research aimed at exploring the impact caused by ready diets on the growth and development of dogs that differ in age and breed is fragmentary one. The authors make a case about necessity for detailed investigation the growth parameters of animals when feeding them with this kind of diets in the low temperatures of Western Siberia. The impact of the finished ration on puppy growth and development was investigated in one of the s animal shelters in Novosibirsk in 2016. The main food used in the experiment for feeding puppies was YUMMI PREMIUM; the feed contains proteins - 26%, fats - 10, fiber - 7, ashes - 7, moisture - no more than 10, calcium – 1 and phosphorus - 0,8%. The authors observed that 50% are meat ingredients (beef, chicken, by-products), 35 are cereals (wheat, buckwheat), vegetable oils, dried milk and 5% are vegetables, chicken fat, mannanoligosaccharides (MOS), Shidiger yucca extract and sea kelp extract. The following food additives are included in the feed: Vitamin A (17000 IU/ kg), vitamin D3 (1700 IU/kg), vitamin E (200 mg/kg), B1 (15 mg/kg), B2 (20 mg/kg), B6, B12 (100 mg/kg), K3, niacin (85 mg/kg), pantothenic acid (50 mg/kg), biotin (950 µg/kg), iron, zinc, manganese, copper (20 mg/kg), iodine (2 mg/kg) and selenium (0.25 mg/kg). The food of the experiment was eaten by puppies with great pleasure. This experiment has shown that YUMMI PREMIUM for puppies increase body weight and average daily growth rates, as well as improve the main parameters of dogs development.
