Hill’s Science Plan Large Breed Puppy Chicken Dry Dog Food

Hill's Large Breed Puppy Dry Food is a premium, veterinary-developed nutrition formula specifically engineered for puppies projected to reach over 25 kg in adulthood. Large breed puppies have unique nutritional requirements that differ significantly from smaller breeds, particularly when it comes to bone and skeletal development during their critical growth phases. This specialized formula addresses these distinct needs through carefully balanced calcium and phosphorus levels that promote controlled bone growth while supporting the development of lean muscle mass. Enriched with DHA from fish oil, the formula also supports healthy brain function and vision development during these formative months, ensuring your puppy receives comprehensive nutritional support for both physical and cognitive development.

Formulated with high-quality protein sources and clinically proven antioxidants, this dry food provides a reliable foundation for strong immunity and overall wellness as your large breed puppy grows. The balanced nutrient profile helps prevent common skeletal issues associated with rapid growth in large breeds, while the inclusion of essential minerals and vitamins supports optimal development across all body systems. Trusted by veterinarians worldwide, Hill's Large Breed Puppy formula combines scientific expertise with practical nutrition to help establish healthy growth patterns from puppyhood through the transition to adulthood, making it an ideal choice for owners committed to giving their large breed puppy the best possible nutritional start in life.
