Dear Dog Enthusiast,
Feeding your puppy a high-quality and balanced diet is probably the single most important thing you can to do to help promote his or her healthy growth and development. The Best Breed Puppy Diet is specially formulated with proper protein and calcium levels. Further, it contains higher levels of fat content to ensure optimal energy levels. As a puppy’s digestive system is typically slow to develop, the Best Breed Puppy diet contains only high-quality, highly-digestible protein and energy sources such as low-ash chicken meal, eggs, fish meal and premium grains to aid in easy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption.
Like all of Best Breed’s diets, the Puppy Diet was developed with the “common sense” idea that a healthy puppy begins with a truly super premium food, made with only the highest-quality ingredients. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions regarding Best Breed’s Puppy Diet.
