It provides biotin and B complex vitamins, as well as protein. It’s considered to be very good for your dog’s skin and coat, for example.

When feeding large breed puppies important to make sure that large breed puppies stay slim and don’t become overweight since carrying too much weight at a young age can also be harmful to their bone and joint development. This food does have a lot of calories but the protein and fat percentages seem to fall within acceptable limits for growing large breed puppies. Higher protein is not usually considered to be a problem for large breed puppies. Higher fat percentages can be a problem. Some experts recommend keeping the fat content (dry matter basis) between 8 and 12 percent, which is much lower than regular puppy food.

Dried egg product is a good source of animal protein. Eggs offer high bioavailability for mammals like dogs. Iams is one of the best-known and oldest pet food companies in the world. The company was founded in 1946 by Paul Iams, an animal nutritionist who planned to bring quality dog food to animals who’d mostly been fed table scraps throughout their lifetimes. In comparison to other dry dog foods available at the time, Iams was considered a premium brand. The dedication to only using the best ingredients continued up until 1999 when the company was sold to Procter & Gamble and things began to change. IAMS for Vitality supports your puppy with high-quality animal protein, essential minerals and vitamin D for strong bones and muscles for healthy growth. When you hear them crunch through the kibble with tailored levels of minerals in every bite, you can rest assured that this will keep their teeth strong and healthy. Real utility to fillers: There is another little-discussed and not-well-understood need that a “filler” might play. If we adopt the working definition that a filler is used to fill or make full, then in the world of formulation, a filler could help us achieve a full measure-100%- once the targeted ingredients are included to meet the required nutrient parameters. What most people don’t realize is that there is always room leftover in a commercial formula once we meet the animal’s essential needs. STRONG MUSCLES: High quality animal protein and essential minerals to help maintain strong muscles.At IAMS we are pet owners too so when creating our recipes we want to ensure they support the seven signs of vitality that radiate from every healthy dog. We also understand that one size does not fit all, and as your animal ages, just as with children, your puppy’s needs will change too.

HEALTHY HEART: Key nutrients to help nourish the heart.STRONG BONES: Enriched with essential minerals and vitamin D. Rosemary extract is an antioxidant that acts as a natural preservative. It’s a common ingredient in many dog foods but if your dog is prone to seizures you will probably want to look for foods that do not contain rosemary since this ingredient has been linked to them.

We note that the food contains brewers rice as the sixth ingredient. Brewers rice should not be confused with brewers dried yeast or other ingredients. Brewers rice is a by-product of the rice milling industry. According to AAFCO it is “the small milled fragments of rice kernels that have been separated from the larger kernels of milled rice.” Brewers rice is a processed rice product that is missing many of the nutrients contained in whole ground rice and brown rice thus reducing the quality. It is often used in pet foods. Brewer’s rice is used as a source of fiber in dog foods. Used in moderation it can add structure and texture to pet food – but not nutrition. It is often considered to be a filler ingredient. This food also comes as dry dog food, which is great for your puppy’s oral health. Dry dog food also offers your puppy the richest amount of nutrients with every bite. IAMS Large Breed Puppy food is designed to give your large breed puppy the best nutrition.
