Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Formula is unique because it provides superior nutrition and taste while being highly digestible and easy on the stomach. Using a special blend of poultry fat, soybean oil, and sunflower oil to provide high levels of linoleic acid (min 3.5%) and alpha-linolenic acid (min 0.3%), these omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids have been combined with other key vitamins and minerals to help provide the healthy skin and shiny coat that shows the love and care you give your dog.
Lamb is the Only Meat Protein
High quality lamb protein for muscle development and body growth. Fewer ingredients mean less opportunity for digestive upset.
Highly Digestible Rice is the Only Cereal Grain
Rice is a highly digestible carbohydrate that's so good for increasing your large breed dog's stamina and energy.
Controlled Growth Formula®
Large and giant breeds are prone to rapid growth, which could lead to hip and joint problems. Our Controlled Growth Formula provides a unique blend of key nutrients needed to help maintain healthy, balanced growth - from weaning to maturity.
Guaranteed to Improve Skin and Coat
With high levels of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, combined with other key vitamins and minerals, we guarantee your puppy will have healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Glucosamine & Chondroitin – the building blocks of healthy joints
Research shows that glucosamine and chondroitin help maintain joint cartilage. This is especially important for large breed dogs as they put greater strain on their bones and joints. These nutrients help maintain strong hips and healthy joints.
Balanced Calcium-Phosphorus for Healthy Balanced Growth
Research shows that large breed puppies have a reduced requirement for calcium and phosphorus so Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice provides the ideal calcium-phosphorus requirement.
Optimized Protein and Fat Levels
Excess weight can cause bone and joint problems for large breed puppies. Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Formula provides optimum protein and fat levels to help
assist in reducing weight problems
while providing plenty of protein for muscles, skin and coat.
Chelated Minerals for Added Health
Chelated minerals get into your large breed puppy's system more efficiently. By providing chelated zinc, and other important minerals, Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Formula helps your dog stay healthy throughout its life.
Smart System™ for Faster Learning
Formulated with ALA and DHA to help puppies with learning, vision and brain development. Research shows that puppies naturally convert ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) to DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid proven to support brain development and better learning.
Guaranteed Great Taste*
We guarantee the great taste of Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Formula so you can be sure your dog will eat enough to meet its nutritional requirements.*
Natural Ingredients with Vitamins & Minerals
Using natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals, Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Formula does not contain chicken heads, feet or intestines which may be found in products that contain chicken by-product meal. Natural Choice does not contain ground corn, which is less digestible than the rice used in Natural Choice.
We Don't Just Talk About Great Nutrition, We Guarantee* It!®
Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Formula is formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition for puppies including all the essential vitamins and minerals your large breed puppy needs for a strong immune system, and overall good health.
