Prioritizing Quality Protein Sources For Large Dog Breeds
Large breed dogs are more prone to joint issues than other dogs. This is why feeding your pup the right food that caters to their needs is so beneficial for their well-being. We include high-quality proteins to help with muscle maintenance as well as Omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins for strong bones and mobility.
Our top protein choices include high-quality choices like GAP-certified and USDA-certified organic chicken. That’s not all, we also offer lean and nutrient wild-hunted venison which is also a novel protein, perfect for dogs with food allergies.
