Canine Puppy Diet

This formula is designed for “‘Puppies’”. Pets First has developed a perfect solution for those pet guardians, breeders or veterinarians that believe that a particular breed requires a specialized ‘puppy diet’ This diet has been formulated to meet the nutritional profile of those puppies that require extra protein, fat and mineral intake. This head start formula will help them on the long and happy road to a healthful existence.

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.

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.
