Real Lamb as the First Ingredient
Real lamb is the star ingredient in this high-protein kibble for puppies, making digestion easy while building strong muscles. DHA from omega-rich fish oil supports brain development while guaranteed live probiotics ensure digestive health.
This dog food also contains bulk-adding fillers such as brewers rice, corn gluten meal and whole grain corn that could potentially interfere with absorption of key vitamins and minerals.
Kibble made with moderate amounts of named meats, poultry and fish along with nutritious grains is available. Fortified with calcium, phosphorous and other essential minerals to support your growing puppy’s teeth and bones as well as antioxidants that support his immunity system development, animal feeding tests have verified this food meets the AAFCO nutritional levels established for growth of puppies up to 1 year of age – previously known as Purina Pro Plan Focus Puppy Lamb & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food for Puppies.
High-Quality Protein Builds Lean Muscles
Puppies require plenty of high-quality protein for developing strong muscles. Real lamb is featured as the first ingredient in this delicious and nutritous recipe that also includes DHA from fish oil for supporting brain and vision development. This kibble meets all nutritional requirements of puppies up to one year old without using artificial flavors or colors, and meets their dietary requirements without compromise.
With an 8 oz measuring cup, this food contains 112 g of Pro Plan.
Animal proteins are considered complete, yet when it comes to muscle growth, lean meats such as lamb can provide more value than higher-fat proteins. This recipe features guaranteed live probiotics for digestive health support as well as calcium, phosphorous and other minerals for strong bones and teeth. Animal feeding tests conducted by an AAFCO-recognized independent lab verify that this product meets all AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profile requirements for large breed dogs (70 pounds or more as adults).
Guaranteed Live Probiotics Support Digestive Health
Probiotics play an essential role in supporting your pup’s digestive health and immune function, as well as combatting disease-causing organisms that could compromise them.
Our lamb and rice formula dry puppy food features Bio-Kult probiotics, which do not need refrigeration and contain 14 strains of “good” bacteria that have been cryoprotected during production to reach your pup’s gut intact. In addition, this recipe includes antioxidants to support their developing immune systems as well as calcium, phosphorous, and minerals for strong teeth and bones.
Wellness CORE Pet Food was specifically created by our team of nutritionists to meet your puppy’s nutritional requirements during its growth phase. It offers complete and balanced pet nutrition for all life stages – even large breed pups up to 1 year old!
Optimal Protein to Fat Ratio
As puppies develop, their nutritional needs can change accordingly. This recipe features a balanced blend of nutrients designed to promote healthy development: high-quality proteins help build lean muscles while DHA from omega-3 fatty acids contributes to brain and vision development. Ideal for large breed puppies up to 1 year of age.
Deboned chicken and chicken meal serve as the primary sources of proteins in this food, while carbohydrates come from brown rice, barley, oats and oatmeal as sources. Furthermore, it includes glucosamine and chondroitin supplements and salmon oil and soluble fiber for healthy extras – providing 28% protein, 16% fat and 3.5% fiber per meal for active large breed puppies.
Purina Pro Plan may be more expensive, but we found this puppy food more suitable due to its wide range of health-specific recipes and higher levels of proteins and fats, plus more glucosamine and chondroitin than usual.
