NutroNatural Choice Large Breed Puppy Dry Dog Food, Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe, 13 lbs.

Love that this product does not contain corn, soy, peas or meat by products. Bought this for my large breed puppy. She doesn't seem to like the kibble by itself, but she has been spoiled by me putting a tiny amount of canned cat food in the bowl, mixing it with water and then adding the kibble. I feed her this food for breakfast and lunch. (Have read the cat food is more nutritious than dog food as cats required more nutrition. We have cats and our dogs love cat food.) Have read that kibble is cooked at very high temperatures which destroys flavor and nutrients, so after the cooked kibble is extruded, it is sprayed with vitamins/minerals and fat to give both flavor and nutrients to the processed kibble.For dinner I feed the puppy the same home-made food as my 6 year-old large dog. I cook ground turkey, brown rice, cauliflower/carrots/broccoli, water and chicken broth in a crockpot and then store it in the refrigerator. Am going to feed this puppy kibble until the puppy is at least one year old to ensure she is getting all the nutrients needed during her first year. I have vitamin/mineral supplements I give to the 6year old dog.Because many people have become aware of the problems with corn and grain-based dog food, most manufacturers are now substituting peas for dog food fillers so they can advertise "grain-free" as a selling point. Unfortunately, peas are not easily digested by dogs and are even worse for the dogs. Had a smart German Shepard mix that would eat left over stew but spit out the peas. Thought it was funny that her bowl would be empty with a small pile of peas left in the bowl. Had an Irish Setter 30 years ago that developed a skin allergy due to dog food. He lost most of his hair and had itchy red bumps all over his skin. Had I known what I now know, we could have cured his skin allergy by changing his diet. Also had a female dog who had repeated ear infections. The vet used antibiotics to clear up the infection but told me to expect the ear infections to continue due to allergies, but she didn't offer any solution or acknowledgement that the allergies were food related.I read that ear infections are common with food allergies. Started making and giving my dogs home made dog food (cooked ground turkey, brown rice, chicken broth/water, cauliflower/broccoli/carrots) and the dog no longer had ear infections. When I took her back to the vet a few months later for her rabies vaccination, the vet commented on how healthy she looked and how shiny her fur was. The other benefit to homemade dog food is that the dogs don't get fat like they do on commercial dog food. This spayed female dog was still active and not overweight at 11 years old.Also, with the price of dog food sky rocketing, home made dog food is not any more expensive than commercial dog food. I buy a 3 lb package of ground turkey at WalMart for the best price. The other ingredients are fairly inexpensive. I make a double batch of dog food, divide it into portion sizes, vacuum seal the portions and freeze them since the puppy only eats a small amount. This allows me to go a number of days before having to make more dog food and also ensures the dog food is fresh for each feeding.As far as commercial kibble is concerned, this dog food seems to be one of the better dog foods available. Highly recommend for large breed dog owners, especially if you don't have the time or desire to make your own dog food.

this the best brand of dog food i have given this to all my german shepherd. plus they like the taste

We've been using this brand for years and can attest to how well our dogs have been feeling for all of that time. Our first dog stayed lean and very healthy for almost 12 years and our new puppy has been growing and putting on healthy weight for the last 2 months on this brand. The price is right and the quantity is great at the price point. The also carry later stage foods so you don't have to worry about changing brands throughout the life of your dog.

I usually feed my dog Blue… but I don’t think he likes it much. I have my dog this and he did not allow it to sit in his bowl for a day… he ate it right away

When our "Lab-mix" puppy doubled in weight from 14 lbs to 28 lbs in just over 2 weeks after she was adopted, we figured she was not a "Lab-mix" so we started her on this super premium Nutro puppy food. The additional glucosamine and chondroitin and the high protein levels of this food gave us peace of mind in the event she was a...Larger-than-Lab-mix. After her genetic test came back that she was 50% Great Dane, we were so happy we chose this food for her. She is now 7 months old, weighs 65 lbs and her head is at waist level. Her black coat is super soft and shiny. Even though she is eating 6 cups a day and the food is expensive, she LOVES the flavor.I did a TON of research before landing on this Nutro large breed puppy formula. Mostly protein with some grains. Many of the other expensive formals (Royal Canin!!!) has first ingredient (which means the highest percentage) of CORN! Do your own research but high% of corn is worthless for a dog... Wolves never hunted corn.

I got my first puppy this brand, and another "small batch" brand of dry dog food. I used the other brand first, and my puppy was very reluctant to eat it. When I finished that bag, I gave him this and a total different reaction. He loves this as much as wet food! Incredible. It's just pricey. I will try to stick to this brand as much as I can.

Nutro food smells fresh and my dog loves it! It keeps him strong and he has the energy to hunt all day. We compete in AKC Hunt tests and he is able to go all day with enthusiasm and intelligence! The more challenging it is the more excited he is to do it. Nutro is a food for champions!

Excellent product and service!!!

We have 4 dogs and all like this food, it is not the most expensive but has same rating as more expensive foods.

秋田犬６ヶ月パピーのフードととして購入しました。カリカリ良く噛んで食べてますよ毎日完食してます。

I have a Std Poodle Bloodhound cross 11 month old and now a purebred Std Poodle 16 week old , They are both eating Nutro Large Breed puppy Lamb and Rice dog food. Our oldest fur baby has done amazing well on this food and it is nice to be able to feed both of them the same food now.We have even seen that the puppy has put on a little weight in the couple weeks we have had her as she was the runt of the litter and had to fight her siblings for her food so was a little thin. Nutro is our families choice ..... I as a human didn’t rate the taste as my dog can’t talk but I assume they love the taste as they gobble it down! Highly recommend Nutro

ニュートロのチキン＆玄米から こちらに変えました。 軟便がなくなり 便の量がへり 身体がガッチリしてきました！ チキンよりラムの方がウチのラブにはあっているみたいです。エサの大きさも大きくて食べやすく また次も購入したいです。

Bear's coat seems much shinier and this food seems to have reduced his itchy skin. Bear is a bit of a fussy eater, but he gobbles this up quite quickly. Our Vet is very happy with his overall health, weight gain, and his vitality. A little pricier than some other foods, but he is a growing puppy who has so far doubled his weight each Vet visit. Currently at 6 months old and 50 lbs., I'm excited to see what this (not so tiny anymore) "Landshark" has in store for our Family! 💖🐕🐾. Btw .. He is a German Shepard, Mastiff, Cane Corso mix! OH MY!🫣🥴When Bear is happy, we are happy.
