WE DON’T JUST TALK ABOUT GREAT NUTRITION, WE GUARANTEE IT®
NATURAL CHOICE® Small Bites Lamb Meal & Rice Formula is formulated to provide 100% complete and balanced nutrition.  Like all NATURAL CHOICE® products, this formula contains no chicken heads, feet or intestines and not ground yellow corn. We use real lamb protein and high levels of linoleic acid for healthy skin and coat, and strong muscles.

High Quality Lamb Protein
High quality lamb protein for muscle development and body maintenance. Fewer ingredients mean less opportunity for digestive upset.

Rice is the Only Ceral Grain
Rice is a highly digestible carbohydrate that’s so good for increasing your dog’s stamina and energy.

Natural Sources of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Building Blocks of Healthy Joints
Good nutrition is important for strong hips and healthy joints. Research shows that these two components found in lamb meal, help maintain healthy joint cartilage.

Good Stool Quality
High digestibility means small compact stools for easy cleanup. That means more nutrition for your dog and less backyard cleanup.

Guaranteed to Improve Skin & Coat*
With high levels of linoleic acid, combined with other key vitamins and minerals, all the nutrition your dog needs for healthy skin and shiny coat.

ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid)
Our exclusive system featuring ALA helps support nervous system functions, vision, and brain function. LA (Linoleic Acid) and ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) help promote a healthy coat and provide added skin & coat nourishment for your dog.
