Description: This puppy formula combines lamb meal and chicken as its protein sources with whole grain rice, offering an accessible entry point into puppy-specific nutrition without the higher price tag that often comes with boutique or veterinary-exclusive puppy formulas. DHA is included to support the rapid brain and vision development that occurs during a puppy's first several months, a standard and important inclusion across quality puppy formulas regardless of price tier. As a grain-inclusive recipe, it also avoids the legume-heavy formulation pattern currently under FDA study for a possible DCM link, which may offer some added peace of mind for budget-conscious owners of large breed puppies in particular. As with any puppy food, large and giant breed puppy owners should double-check that calcium and phosphorus levels are appropriate for their pup's expected adult size, since large breeds need more carefully controlled mineral ratios during growth than what a general all-breed puppy formula provides. Diamond's inclusion of proprietary probiotics rounds out the formula's digestive support for what can be a sensitive transitional feeding period.
