Description
It only looks like all she does is run around and chew on everything in sight. Actually your puppy's body is working hard at growing. With 27% protein Lotus Wholesome Puppy Recipe provides loads of the highest-quality building blocks your puppy needs for developing strong, healthy muscles. Lotus uses wholesome chicken, chicken liver and pollock which contains DHA, the fatty acid used in human baby formula to support normal brain development and motor skills.
Lotus Puppy Dry Dog Food has that delicious baked-in goodness Lotus is known for. So before you can say, "No dessert until you eat your pollock," your puppy will be licking the bowl clean.
Lotus’ oven-baked food for dogs is not just full of protein-rich meats, whole veggies & fruits and a special omega-3 & 6-loaded oil blend. It’s made by wholesome process called Baked-in Goodness. It’s the reason Lotus is superior to other "healthy" dog foods that are extruded.
Lotus uses real ovens like the one in your kitchen (only way bigger). Sure, baking is a painstakingly slow process, but the results are worth it. (Here comes your dog’s favorite part.) All those natural flavors and aromas come through every little cookie with absolutely no need for sprayed-on fats and flavors.
Available in 5 lbs, 12.5 lbs and 25 lbs.
