by Nutrience
Learn moreDescription:
The original, tried and true Nutrience recipe, complete and balanced for adult and senior large and giant breed dogs.
An uncomplicated recipe with nothing but simple, wholesome ingredients with an ideal larger kibble size (approx. 17mm). Chicken & brown rice formula. Natural omega 3 and 6 fatty acids for skin and coat. Glucosamine & Chondroitin to help support hips and joints for larger breeds. Natural antioxidants to nutritionally support a healthy immune system. Chicken protein for strong, lean muscles.
Key Benefits:
- Our original formulas are made with quality chicken to help your dog maintain lean muscle mass. Lesser quality meat by-products or plant glutens are never used to increase protein levels.
- Larger dogs have a lower digestive capacity than smaller dogs. A combination of whole grains, natural fiber and prebiotics are used to help ease digestion and maintain a healthy intestinal tract.
- We’ve included key sources of antioxidants in our formulas (blueberries, cranberries and carrots along with vitamin C and vitamin E) that work together to support your dog’s immune system and maintain a healthy heart.
- Because of their larger frames, large breed dogs are more prone to sensitive joints. We’ve added extra glucosamine & chondroitin to help protect their hips & joints from the added pressure.
- A dog’s skin & coat is a reflection of their overall health. Natural sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, including salmon oil and flaxseed, will help your dog maintain a healthy skin and shiny coat.
- Larger dogs tend to inhale their food, so we’ve made a larger size kibble to encourage your dog to chew properly and slow down his eating.

Feeding Guidelines:
How much food your dog needs depends on their size, age, activity level and environment.
Simply start with our recommendations, adjust as needed, and make sure to always have fresh water available.
Changing to Nutrience
It is always important to gradually transition your dog from one food to another, even when changing formulas within the same brand. Start with around 25% Nutrience mixed with 75% of their old food on day one. Slowly increase the amount of Nutrience over seven days. Gradually decrease the amount of the old food over the same time.
