A breeder will qualify for a free Breeder Buck coupon for every complete and distinct customer registration card submitted to Nutro within 3 months of reporting a litter. You will save $3 (U.S.) or $5 (Canadian) when you purchase one 6 lb. or larger bag of MAX or Natural Choice dry dog or cat food or Ultra dry dog food.

What is the correct way of submitting UPCs & receipts?
The program offers an exclusive discount for our members: Buy 6 bags or cases of MAX or Natural Choice dry dog or cat food or Ultra dry dog food, mail in your UPCs (proof of purchase) and receipts, and receive 1 voucher for a FREE bag or case. It's that simple.
In order to prevent delays or problems with processing your free food, please keep the following program policies in mind:

  • The free bag or case will correspond to the smallest size purchased. Trial sizes are not included in the program.

  • Mail 6 (six) proof-of-purchase UPCs and corresponding receipts at a time or make sure that the number of UPCs mailed to us are in multiples of 6 (six). This means that every time you mail in your UPCs, make sure that they're in a group of either 6, or 12, or 18, or 24, etc.

  • Group UPCs together that are of the same brand (MAX, Natural Choice or Ultra), same product (such as Natural Choice Puppy or MAX® CAT Adult Roasted Chicken) and same size (20 lb., 40 lb., etc).

  • Receipts should be dated within a 12-month period. Copies of receipts are accepted.
  • Example
    In order to receive 1 free voucher for a 40 lb. bag of Natural Choice Lamb Meal & Rice, send in 6 identical 40 lb. Natural Choice Lamb Meal & Rice proof-of-purchase UPC's and corresponding receipts.
    Here's how:
    *40lb NC Lamb Meal & Rice is shown here as an example; you may submit any group of identical MAX, Natural Choice or Ultra UPCs. This example assumes that the UPCs are accompanied with corresponding receipts that are dated within 12 months. Copies of receipts are accepted.
    How NOT to submit your UPCs
    These examples assume that you intend to receive a voucher for a free 40 lb Natural Choice Lamb Meal & Rice bag.
    Do NOT mix UPCs of various size bags; the voucher will correspond to the smallest.

    Do NOT mix UPCs of different brands or different products within the same brand.

    The number of UPCs should total 6 (six) or multiples of 6 such as 12, 18, 24, etc.
