- No by-products, fillers or artificial ingredients
- Free of any added chemicals like artificial preservatives such as BHA, BHT and ethoxyquin
Innova Large Breed Adult Dry Dog Food is the ideal choice for adult dogs two to seven years old and weighing 60 or more pounds.
- Rich in important fatty acids
- Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate added for joint health
Five Food Groups – Formulated with ingredients from the five food groups in the USDA human food pyramid – meat, dairy, vegetables, fruit and grain, plus fats and oils – to offer the ultimate in holistic nutrition.
Chelated Minerals – By attaching, or "chelating," minerals to amino acids, these essential nutrients can be quickly absorbed by the digestive tract and made more available to the body.
EPA + DHA – EPA and DHA are special omega-3 fatty acids important in eye and brain development. These omega-3’s are only available from marine sources and have been shown to reduce inflammation and free radical production.
Large Breed – Supply controlled levels of minerals and calories to manage growth in puppies as well as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for joint health in older dogs.
Prebiotics and Probiotics – Include live, active bacteria called probiotics that are supported by prebiotics or healthful fiber. Working together they can restore intestinal balance and help maintain a healthy, normal digestive tract and strong immune system.
Natural Preservation (with Vitamin E) – As an essential antioxidant, Vitamin E fights free radicals and protects cells and tissues from oxidative damage. Coupled with Vitamin C or ascorbic acid and at times rosemary extract, Vitamin E is an excellent all-natural food preservative.
Maintenance – Hard at work every day providing optimal nutrition for adult dogs.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate – Together, these compounds are used for joint health. Glucosamine can stimulate the rebuilding of the cartilage cushioning the joints while chondroitin sulfate can attract fluid back into joint cartilage.
Available in 15 lbs or 33 lbs
