Choosing the right food for your growing puppy is crucial for their long-term health and well-being. Diamond Puppy Food is expertly formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition, supporting your puppy’s development from their early weeks through their first year. This premium puppy formula is packed with high-quality ingredients designed to meet the specific needs of puppies, ensuring they get the best start in life.
High-Quality Ingredients for Optimal Puppy Nutrition
Diamond Puppy Food starts with real chicken by-product meal as a primary protein source, essential for building strong muscles and supporting healthy growth. Whole grain ground corn and wheat flour provide easily digestible carbohydrates for energy, fueling your puppy’s active lifestyle. Chicken fat, preserved with mixed tocopherols (a natural source of Vitamin E), offers a concentrated source of energy and essential fatty acids for a healthy coat and skin.
This formula also includes beneficial ingredients such as dried beet pulp, a good source of fiber for digestive health, and egg product, a highly digestible protein source. Natural chicken flavor enhances palatability, making mealtime enjoyable for even picky eaters. Flaxseed and fish meal are included as sources of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, vital for brain development, vision, and a lustrous coat. Salmon oil, a rich source of DHA, is particularly important for cognitive development in puppies.
To further support your puppy’s overall health, Diamond Puppy Food is enriched with:
- Dried fermentation products: Including Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Enterococcus faecium, and Bifidobacterium animalis. These probiotics support a healthy gut microbiome, aiding in digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Essential Vitamins and Minerals: A comprehensive blend of vitamins (Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Biotin, Niacin, Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B12, Riboflavin, Vitamin D3, Folic Acid) and minerals (Iron Proteinate, Zinc Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Manganese Proteinate, Sodium Selenite) ensures your puppy receives all the necessary micronutrients for healthy growth, immune function, and overall vitality.
