Natural Ingredients with Added
Vitamins and Minerals
Real Chicken Protein
Shiny Coat, Less Shedding
Easy to Digest, Less Clean-Up
For Dogs Who Prefer A Small Bite Size
Select natural ingredients with added vitamins and minerals deliver 100% complete and balanced nutrition for active adult dogs.  That’s what you get in every bag of MAX®.  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 Chicken Protein

The #1 ingredient in MAX® is chicken meal, made from real chicken with most of the water and fat removed.  Additionally, we then add chicken to enhance the flavor your dog loves. MAX® never uses chicken heads, feet or intestines, which may be found in products containing chicken by-product meal.

 
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™ works hard on taste. With quality ingredients and our natural FlavorMAX® system, Nutro™ 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 lustrous coat and healthy 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.
 
MAX® Products Add Variety to Your Pet’s Diet
We suggest serving Nutro™ MAX® dry kibble with any of our Nutro™ MAX® canned formulas. For an added treat, try MAX® Bones or Steaks biscuits. And don’t forget Nutro™ MAX® CAT – Dry kibble, canned formulas and treats for the feline members of your family.
