Puppy Chicken & Barley Entrée: A Complete and Balanced Meal for Your Growing Pup

Key Features and Benefits

• Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Formulated to meet the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) nutrient profiles for growth, ensuring your puppy receives all the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients needed for optimal development. This includes a precise balance of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and fiber for healthy growth and energy levels.
• High-Quality Protein Source: Features real chicken as the #1 ingredient, providing a highly digestible and palatable protein source crucial for building strong muscles and tissues. Chicken is a readily available source of animal protein for young pups and many readily digest it.
• Easy Digestion: The recipe incorporates easily digestible ingredients like barley, which aids in healthy digestion and nutrient absorption. This reduces the likelihood of digestive upset, a common issue in puppies. The overall recipe formulation focuses on gentle digestion.
• Healthy Fats for Brain Development: Contains healthy fats essential for brain development, cognitive function, and a shiny coat. These fats contribute to overall health and well-being, supporting a puppy’s rapid growth and development.
• Added Vitamins and Minerals: Enriched with a balanced blend of essential vitamins and minerals to support immune system function, bone growth, and overall health. This ensures that the food provides more than just basic nutrition; it caters to developmental needs.
• No Artificial Colors, Flavors, or Preservatives: Made with natural ingredients and free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, promoting a healthy and balanced diet for your growing puppy. This commitment to natural ingredients aligns with pet owners who desire high-quality and transparent food options.
• Suitable for Small and Medium Breeds: The kibble size is carefully designed to be appropriate for small and medium-sized puppies, making it easy for them to chew and digest. The size consideration is crucial for puppies’ jaw development and digestive systems.
• Palatable and Appetising: The combination of chicken and barley creates a delicious and enticing flavor profile, ensuring your puppy enjoys mealtimes. Palatability is a key factor in encouraging healthy eating habits in puppies.
• Supports Healthy Gut Microbiome: The inclusion of specific prebiotics or ingredients that support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria contribute to a healthy digestive system and improved nutrient absorption. A healthy gut is crucial for overall puppy health.
• Controlled Calorie Content: The recipe is formulated with a controlled calorie content to help maintain a healthy weight and prevent obesity, a common concern in growing puppies. Weight management during the developmental stage is essential for long-term health.
