Dear Dog Enthusiast,
Feeding your puppy a high-quality and balanced diet is probably the single most important thing you can to do to help promote his or her healthy growth and development. The Best Breed Puppy Diet is specially formulated with proper protein and calcium levels. Further, it contains higher levels of fat content to ensure optimal energy levels. As a puppy’s digestive system is typically slow to develop, the Best Breed Puppy diet contains only high-quality, highly-digestible protein and energy sources such as low-ash chicken meal, eggs, fish meal and premium grains to aid in easy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption.
Like all of Best Breed’s diets, the Puppy Diet was developed with the “common sense” idea that a healthy puppy begins with a truly super premium food, made with only the highest-quality ingredients. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions regarding Best Breed’s Puppy Diet.
Sincerely,
Chicken Meal, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Dried Beet Pulp, Chicken Fat [Preserved with Natural Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E)], Egg Product, Brewers Dried Yeast, Natural Flavor, Menhaden Fish Meal, Lecithin, Menhaden Fish Oil, Kelp Meal, Sea Salt, Taurine, Flax Seed, Canola Oil, Calcium Carbonate, L-Lysine, DL Methionine, Ascorbic Acid, Glucosamine, Vitamin E Supplement, Biotin, Niacin Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Acetate, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Citric Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid, Potassium Chloride, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Zinc Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Manganese Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Manganous Oxide, Sodium Selenite, Calcium Iodate.
