MAX Puppy Dry

	Natural Ingredients with Added Vitamins and Minerals Real Chicken Protein Shiny Coat, Less Shedding Easy to Digest, Less Clean-Up For Their First Year

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^®. 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^® Puppy 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.
