Specially Formulated for Dogs 50lbs and Over
Natural Choice Large Breed Adult is unique because it provides superior nutrition and taste while being highly digestible and easy on the stomach. Using a special blend of poultry fat, soybean oil, and sunflower oil to provide high levels of linoleic acid (min 3.5%) and alpha-linolenic acid (min 0.3%), these omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids have been combined with other key vitamins and minerals to help provide the healthy skin and shiny coat that shows the love and care you give your dog.

Healthy Joints
Good nutrition is important for strong hips and healthy joints. Research shows that Glucosamine and Chondroitin help maintain joint cartilage.

Balanced Nutrition
Large breed dogs need adequate high quality protein to insure proper muscle maintenance, but excess weight can cause bone and joint problems. Natural Choice Large Breed Adult provides optimum protein and fat levels to help limit excess weight gain while providing plenty of protein for muscles, skin and coat. Research also shows that large breed dogs have a reduced requirement for calcium and phosphorus so Natural Choice Large Breed Adult provides the ideal calcium-phosphorus requirement. Natural Choice Large Breed Adult uses natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals for balanced nutrition.

Chicken Meal & Rice
High quality chicken protein for muscle development and body maintenance. Rice is a high quality carbohydrate that's good for your large breed dog's stamina and energy. Fewer ingredients mean less opportunity for digestive upsets.

Stay Healthy
Chelated minerals are absorbed into your large breed dog's system more efficiently. By providing chelated zinc and other important minerals, Natural Choice Large Breed Adult helps your dog stay healthy throughout its life.

Small Stool Volume
High digestibility means small compact stools for easy cleanup. That means more nutrition for your dog and less backyard cleanup.

Healthy Immune System
Using advanced antioxidants and the finest ingredients, Natural Choice Large Breed Adult gives your dog complete and balanced nutrition. There's no need to add supplements.

Healthy Skin & Shiny Coat
With high levels of linoleic acid and alpha-linoleic acid, combined with other key vitamins and minerals, we guarantee your dog will have healthy skin and a shiny coat.*

Natural Ingredients with Vitamins & Minerals
Using natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals, Natural Choice Large Breed Adult does not use chicken heads, feet or intestines which may be found in products that contain chicken by-product meal. Natural Choice does not contain ground corn, which is less digestible than the rice used in Natural Choice.

Great Taste Guaranteed*
We guarantee the great taste of Natural Choice Large Breed Adult.*

Available in 38lb, 42lb
