Puppies multiply their weight up to 60 times in their first year of life, requiring a nutritious diet of easily digested meat proteins and fats to support their intense growth and development.
Perfectly rich in nutritious proteins and fats, each kibble of this exceptional puppy formula is literally bursting with quality meat ingredients (50%) from hormone-free, human-grade chicken.
Low in starch (28%) and featuring easily digested oatmeal as a premium carbohydrate, Puppy & Junior is enriched with chicory and yeast extracts (MOS, FOS) to support intestinal flora and digestive health.
A natural blend of fish and flax oils is rich in essential fatty acids (including DHA and EPA) to support cognitive and immune development, while promoting supple skin and luxurious coat conditioning.
Steamed vegetables and fruits are supplemented with organic minerals and vitamins to supply antioxidants in the healthiest way possible.
