Superior Protein Sources
The first year of your puppy's life he or she needs all the love you can provide along with an optimal balance of nutrients for a healthy start. Natural chicken and turkey head our ingredient list along with four additional highly bioavailable proteins for outstanding digestibility and great taste. Essential proteins promote wellness and support the growth of strong muscles as your puppy grows. Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids provide support for a healthy skin and coat. Natural Fruits & Veggies
Pure, wholesome fruits and vegetables provide valuable nutrients, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants for your dog. We simply dry the carrots, bananas, papaya, apples and blueberries and then blend with the Ultramix kibble. Don't be fooled by other diets that feature fruits and veggies in the ingredients list - you can't even see them in the kibble! And because they're usually processed under high heat they retain only minimal nutritional value...not so with NATURAL ULTRAMIX!
Rich Sources of Carbohydrates
Potatoes combined with whole grains provide essential vitamins and minerals as well as a balanced source of sustainable energy. Dried beet pulp also provides an important and safe source of dietary fiber to help promote a healthy intestinal tract. Contrary to popular belief, beet pulp does not contain sugar and has not been proven to affect coat color or cause bloat.
Essential Vitamins & Minerals –
Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals (including Calcium and Phosphorous) and balanced to meet the needs of your puppy.
Additional Benefits

Bringing home your new puppy is exciting but also stressful for your new best friend. To avoid possible dietary upset from a change in food, make gradual changes to his or her diet. Start with a small amount of Natural Ultramix Puppy Formula in place of your puppy’s current food. Over the next week to 10 days, increase the amount of Natural Ultramix Puppy Formula, while decreasing the amount of his or her other food, until your puppy has 100% Natural Ultramix Puppy Formula in his bowl. Puppies have special nutritional needs during their first year and should have their own special food to meet those needs. Natural Ultramix Puppy Formula provides optimum levels of fat, protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals, (including calcium) for their developing bones and teeth. Crunchy pieces provide great taste, excellent chewing exercise, and help clean teeth. Depending on the breed, puppies are ready for adult food at 12 to 18 months of age and, for giant breeds, at 24 months of age. Feed your puppy an amount that will provide steady, optimal growth without becoming overweight. This food intake will vary depending on age, activity level, environment, and other stress factors.
