Added supplements like L-Carnitine, taurine, choline chloride, and dL-Methionine help to support heart health. Pre and pro-biotics keep your dog's digestive system regular, which you and your dog are sure to appreciate.
Bioavailability–what does it mean? It means how much of the good stuff in your dog's food he is actually able to absorb and use. Nutrient dense foods need a high bioavailability for your dog to get the most out of them, and luckily NutriSource's formulas are highly bioavailable. NutriSource Grain Free Large Breed Puppy Recipe has a bioavailability of over 90%! And because NutriSource leaves out fillers, your dog will only be absorbing the good stuff. In the long run, this food will support better brain and gut function, skin and coat health, and odor control in your dog.
NutriSource's formulas are compact with nutrients, which means you won't have to feed your dog as much food as if you were feeding him the leading competitors. Just 12 ounces of NutriSource Grain Free Large Breed Puppy Recipe has the same nutritional levels as 24 ounces of the leading national brand and 36 ounces of the mass merchandiser bargain brand. Imagine the money you'll save when your dog's bag of food can last up to 3 times longer than the other brands!

Divide the amount shown into 2 to 3 feedings daily. Add approximately 1/2 cup for every 10 lbs over 100 lbs daily feeding.
Amount of food consumed will vary based on activity level, age, breed, and environment. Standard 8 oz measuring cup holds approximately 3.9 oz of NutriSource Grain Free Large Breed Puppy Recipe Dog Food. At 5 - 7 months and again at about 12 months, your puppy will automatically reduce the amount consumed. This is due to a natural reduction in growth rate and the reduced need for calories. Consult your veterinarian if you believe your dog is too thin or overweight.
Remember it is important to have clean, fresh water available for your dog at all times.
