Ingredient Transparency
Ocean fish meal is the first ingredient, providing a concentrated and highly digestible protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Chicken meal and lamb meal contribute additional animal protein sources for a diverse amino acid profile. Oatmeal and rice serve as digestible grain-based carbohydrate sources. Pea starch, chickpeas, lentils, and peas contribute additional carbohydrates, fiber, and plant-based nutrients. Chicken fat preserved with mixed tocopherols delivers omega-6 fatty acids. Tomato pomace provides lycopene and dietary fiber. Brewer's dried yeast supplies B vitamins. Dicalcium phosphate provides calcium and phosphorus in appropriate ratios for large breed puppy skeletal development. Proteinated minerals (zinc, iron, manganese, copper, selenium) are included for enhanced absorption. Rosemary extract is used as a natural preservative. No corn or wheat is used in this formulation.
Nutritional Positioning
Crude Protein (min) 24% | Crude Fat (min) 14% | Crude Fiber (max) 4% | Moisture (max) 10% | Omega-6 Fatty Acids (min) 2.5% | Omega-3 Fatty Acids (min) 0.6%
The balanced protein level supports muscle maintenance across all life stages. The elevated omega-3 content (0.6%) from ocean fish meal supports skin, coat, joint, and cognitive health. Controlled calcium and phosphorus levels support proper skeletal development in large breed puppies. This formula is complete and balanced for all life stages as established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles, including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs or more as an adult).
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
Standard kibble format supports consistent daily feeding routines for dogs of all ages and sizes. The fish-forward multi-protein formula offers broad palatability appeal. Fish-based formulas can have a distinct aroma that many dogs find highly palatable. Individual palatability will vary by dog preference. Kibble size is appropriate for all breed sizes with portion adjustments as needed.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Feed as a complete daily meal. Large breed puppies require controlled feeding to support proper growth rate and skeletal development - avoid overfeeding. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs require more calories and should be fed accordingly. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, life stage, activity level, and body condition. When transitioning from another food, introduce gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts with the current diet. Always provide access to fresh, clean water.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
Store in a cool, dry place. Seal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Keep out of reach of children and other animals. Consult your veterinarian for specific dietary guidance tailored to your dog's individual needs and life stage, especially for large breed puppies.
