Chicken and Barley
Canine Large Breed Diet
This formula is designed for “‘Large Breeds’”.
It is a perfect solution for those breeds that are over 70 pounds at adulthood. The feeding
guidelines as outlined below give you the opportunity to tailor your feeding requirements
based on the activity level, age or breed of your dog. Pets First developed this formula in response
to the needs of some of its customers. A slightly softer version of our ‘High Meat’
diet. This diet provides an optimal level of Kilo Calories to the larger breeds while still providing
the healthful benefits of a high percentage of meat protein and balanced carbohydrates.
High Quality Proteins
This formula uses Chicken meal and Fresh Chicken as primary protein sources. Pets First
only uses ‘Guaranteed Ethoxyquin FREE’ chicken Meal in its formulations. The Fresh
Chicken Meat is hormone and antibiotic FREE and is classified as ‘human grade’. We also
use Wild Salmon and Whole Dried egg as protein sources. Our Wild Salmon provides an excellent
source of Omega 3 fatty acid.
Quality Fats
Pets First only uses the highest quality chicken fat in its diets. Our Chicken fat is guaranteed
Ethoxyquin free. A generous portion of sunflower Oil and the addition of Flax Oil helps give
our formulas a wonderfully balanced Omega fatty acid profile. Your dog will not only appear
healthy on the outside but all his major systems will be optimally fed by our formulations.
Quality Carbohydrates, Fruit and Vegetables
Pets First uses only human grade carbohydrate sources such as Whole Brown Rice, Whole
White Rice, Hulless Barley, Whole Potatoes, Whole Apples, Whole Cranberries, Whole Blueberries,
Whole Carrots. These provide sustained and balanced energy levels.
Antioxidants, Chelated Minerals and other Healthy additions
Pets First uses a guaranteed amount of Glucosamine HLC and Chondroitin to aid in joint
support. We add a generous portion of Norwegian Dried Kelp to provide the trace minerals
necessary to maintain great health. We use Chelated Minerals to make sure that these are
quickly and effectively absorbed into your pet so he can enjoy the most benefit.
