Natural Choice Large Breed Weight Management 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 and alpha-linolenic acid, 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.
Control Excess Weight Gain
Many large breed dogs are overweight and veterinarians consider overweight dogs to be at risk for a number of health problems. Because of its reduced fat and calories, Natural Choice Large Breed Weight Management can assist in reducing weight problems.
Balanced Nutrition
Research shows that large breed dogs have a reduced requirement for calcium and phosphorus, so Natural Choice Large Breed Weight Management provides the ideal calcium-phosphorus level. Large breeds need plenty of protein to support their large muscle mass but not excess fat which can cause weight gain. Natural Choice Large Breed Weight Management provides optimized fat and protein levels and a special blend of vitamins, tocopherols and tocotrienols to provide advanced antioxidants to help keep your dog's immune system healthy. Natural Choice Large Breed Weight Management uses natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals for optimal nutrition.
Healthy Joints
Good nutrition is important for strong hips and healthy joints. Research shows that Glucosamine and Chondroitin help maintain joint cartilage.
Healthy Skin & Shiny Coat
With high levels of linoleic acid and zinc, we guarantee your dog will have healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Natural Ingredients with Vitamins & Minerals
Using natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals, Natural Choice Large Breed Weight Management does not use 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.
Great Taste Guaranteed*
We guarantee the great taste of Natural Choice Large Breed Weight Management so you can be sure your dog will eat enough to meet its nutritional requirements.* |
