High Protein Recipe - Chicken & Rice

High Protein Recipe - Chicken & Rice

Puppies, lactating or gestating mother dogs, and highly active or working dogs require more energy. High protein & high fat ensure growing puppies get the nutrients they need to align with their quick growth period as well as help sustain dogs with high energy demands. Working dogs (including police canines) prefer our Nature's Select High Protein Recipe! This is also an ideal recipe for underweight dogs who have trouble gaining or maintaining a healthy weight.

Feeding Reproducing Females

Nature's Select Classic Dog Food has been fortified to meet the needs of reproducing (gestating and lactating) female dogs. Food consumption can vary during gestation and lactation, but reproducing females must eat enough food to maintain a good body condition.

Expect intakes to increase 2 to 4 times the cups shown in the adult feeding guidelines during lactation.

Feeding Puppies

Puppies start to nibble on solid food at three to four weeks of age. Use the feeding chart as a guideline. We recommend serving Nature’s Select Classic dry food with warm water (three parts dry food – one-part water) at all times until weaned (6 to 8 weeks of age). Remove softened food after a couple of hours due to spoilage. Don’t let your puppy get too overweight and maintain an ideal body condition. Individual needs will vary with breed, activity, litter size and environmental temperature. Slight appetite changes are normal with puppies. Since Nature's Select foods are complete and balanced, additional foods, treats and chews may alter the nutritional balance and calories. Be sure to offer fresh, clean water daily. We recommend you take your pet to see your veterinarian annually.

*ALWAYS KEEP A SUPPLY OF CLEAN WATER AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES!

Recipe FAQs

What are the benefits of high protein? 

Proteins are necessary for all aspects of growth and development. Puppies, active dogs, gestating and lactating dogs, and working dogs often require more protein. 

What is Chicken Meal?

Chicken meal is considered a meat concentrate and contains nearly 300% MORE protein than fresh chicken, which is why we use it in this recipe. 

Why use chicken fat?

It’s a pure fat to use as a quality ingredient because it is high in linoleic acid and is an omega-6 fatty acid that is essential to a pet’s life!
