Overview

CONTROLLED-GROWTH FORMULA® Puppy Food Large and giant breeds are prone to rapid growth, which could lead to hip and joint problems. Our CONTROLLED-GROWTH FORMULA® puppy food provides a unique blend of key nutrients needed to help maintain healthy, balanced growth from weaning to maturity. Natural Sources of Glucosamine and Chondroitin for Healthy Joints Good nutrition is important to large and giant breeds for strong hips and healthy joints. Research shows that these two components found in chicken meal help maintain healthy joint cartilage. Balanced Calcium-Phosphorus for Healthy Balanced Growth of the Skeletal System Research shows that large breed puppies have a reduced requirement for calcium and phosphorus so this formula provides ideal calcium-phosphorus requirement. Adjusted Protein and Fat Levels Provides optimum protein and fat levels to help balance growth while providing plenty of protein for muscles, skin and coat. Excess weight can cause bone and joint problems for large breed puppies. Real Chicken Protein High quality real chicken protein for muscle development and body growth. L-Carnitine to help utilize fat L-Carnitine helps utilize fat for lean muscle growth. Chelated Minerals for Added Health Chelated minerals are more easily absorbed into your large breed puppy’s system. By providing chelated zinc, and other important minerals, this formula will help your dog stay healthy throughout its life. Guaranteed to Improve Skin and Coat With high levels or linoleic acid, combined with other key vitamins and minerals, all the nutrition your puppy needs for healthy skin and coat. SMART START® Formula SMART START® Formula featuring ALA and DHA helps puppies with learning, brain and vision development. ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) Research shows that puppies naturally convert ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) to DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) to help support better learning. Puppies want to look their best, so we supply fatty acids for a healthy, shiny coat. DHA Formulated with high levels of DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) from fish oil, a proven nutrient for brain development.
