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
