Chicken and Brown Rice Base
Why It’s Vet-Approved
It provides a balanced ratio of lean protein and complex carbohydrates essential for puppy growth. The chicken delivers high-quality, easily digestible protein necessary for muscle development. Brown rice offers sustained energy through complex carbohydrates and provides essential fiber for digestive health.
The addition of calcium carbonate addresses the critical calcium needs of growing puppies, while the ground eggshell provides additional calcium and phosphorus in an appropriate ratio. Fish oil contributes omega-3 fatty acids, supporting brain development and reducing inflammation. The vegetables round out the nutritional profile with vitamins and minerals in a gentle, digestible form suitable for developing digestive systems.
