Peas & Carrots
Hill’s Science Diet Small Bites puppy food offers above-average levels of protein, fat and carbs as well as an ample supply of named meat meals and an exceptional amount of fiber content.
Chicken meal, produced from baking and grinding chicken meat, is the main component of this dry dog food. This source of animal protein works particularly well when combined with grains such as wheat or barley for use as pet food ingredients.
Peas are loaded with dietary fibers that work to regulate bowel movements for healthier digestion in your furry friend. Furthermore, they’re an excellent source of Vitamin A and C along with various minerals including potassium and calcium.
Carrots offer numerous health advantages for your dog. Packed full of vitamins A, K and C as well as potassium magnesium and zinc – plus being an excellent source of folic acid – carrots provide many nutritional benefits while aiding their immune systems.
Chicken Fat
Hill’s Science Diet Puppy provides an array of food options designed to support puppies of all sizes and breeds, featuring quality protein from animal sources and essential minerals for optimal growth.
These recipes avoid trendy diets such as grain free diets that lack scientific support, instead providing healthy options such as whole wheat, cracked barley and whole grain sorghum to provide adequate protein and energy levels to both puppies and adults alike.
No one says hello like your dog does – and that is why they strive to give more moments like these with tasty natural nutrition that supports a long and happy life for their beloved friends.
Flaxseed
Flaxseeds are an excellent plant source of omega 3 fatty acids and contain lignans, which act as antioxidants to strengthen your puppy’s immune system and add a beautiful, radiant sheen to their coat.
Flaxseed contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). While this provides some anti-inflammatory benefits of its own, EPA and DHA contain even stronger anti-inflammatory capabilities.
Your dog should always receive ground flaxseed for maximum benefits. Whole seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides which could potentially lead to digestive issues in dogs; thus soaking and grinding should be performed prior to feeding them to avoid unnecessary exposure to chemical-laden materials.
