Puppies and kittens go through intense growth and development in their first year of life. Their diet plays a very important role in this, and is crucial for brain, bone, and immune system development. Their needs are much different from adults, and different breeds may also have different nutritional requirements. 

Geriatric pets benefit from a diet that takes into account the changing needs of an animal at this stage of their life. Older pets often require less, and higher quality, protein as well as a lower calorie food to prevent obesity. There are also veterinary diets that include a number of joint supplements to promote comfort in aging joints and improve mobility.
