Natural Choice 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.
Wheat Free
Rice, a high quality carbohydrate that's so good for your puppy's stamina and energy, is the only cereal grain.
Balanced Nutrient Levels
Just the right amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates to keep pace with your puppy's high energy level.
Helps Develop Strong Bones & Teeth
Natural Choice Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Formula has a special blend of vitamins and minerals for puppies and pregnant or lactating mothers.
Great Taste Guaranteed*
We guarantee the great taste of Natural Choice Puppy so you can be sure your dog will eat enough to meet its nutritional requirements.*
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.*
Natural Ingredients with Vitamins and Minerals
Using natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals, Natural Choice Puppy 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 rice used in Natural Choice.

Natural Choice Puppy Lamb Meal & Rice Formula contains advanced antioxidants to help your puppy develop a healthy immune system. It is complete and balanced nutrition so there's no need to add supplements.
Smart System™ for Faster Learning
Formulated with ALA and DHA to help puppies with learning, vision and brain development. Research shows that ALA and DHA support brain development and better learning. |
