Vitamins and Minerals

Shiny Coat, Healthy Skin
Easy to Digest, Less Clean-Up
For Puppies That Grow to 50lbs & Over
Select natural ingredients with added vitamins and minerals deliver 100% complete and balanced nutrition for growing puppies.  That’s what you get in every bag of MAX® Dog Food.  Formulated with state-of-the-art technology developed through 80+ years of pet food experience, continually kennel tested to maintain high quality standards and backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, you can trust your best friend’s nutrition and health to MAX®.
 
The Natural Nutrition Difference

: Natural ingredients, fortified with the required vitamins and minerals, truly make the difference.  MAX® is naturally preserved – no artificial preservatives like BHA, BHT or ethoxyquin. We do not add artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners.  MAX® uses whole grain wheat, wheat flour and rice; never any sorghum, ground corn, whole grain corn, corn meal or corn grits which can be more difficult to digest.      

 
Real Beef Protein

The #1 ingredient in MAX® is beef meal, which is made from real beef with most of the water and fat removed.  Beef meal is a good source of protein and zinc.

 
More Digestible – Less Cleanup
Because the ingredients in MAX® are highly digestible, more nutrition goes into your dog and less stool goes into your backyard. This means faster, easier cleanup and a more hygienic environment for you and your family.
 
Guaranteed Great Taste
The best food in the world is useless if your dog won’t eat it. That’s why Nutro Products, Inc. works hard on taste. With quality ingredients and our natural FLAVORMAX® system, Nutro Products, Inc. guarantees your dog will love the taste of MAX® or your money back.     
 
Shiny Coat, Less Shedding
Scientifically formulated with a winning combination of Omega-6 linoleic acid, Vitamin E and zinc, MAX® helps promote a rich, full coat and supple skin. Many brands contain less linoleic acid – check their labels and compare to MAX®.  
 
The Economy of Quality Food
MAX® really delivers with quality ingredients, balanced nutrition and guaranteed great taste.  Many owners find that highly digestible MAX® costs only pennies per day more to feed.  Try a bag today.  Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Use a standard 8 oz. measuring cup.  Moisten the food until the puppy no longer has sore gums and has sufficient teeth to chew the kibble. Then serve dry or lightly moistened.  Feed puppies three times a day until six months old, then twice daily until adulthood.  Any changes in diet should be gradual. To ensure your puppy’s well-being, avoid overfeeding. Keep fresh drinking water available at all times.  See your veterinarian regularly.
