Because the nutrition your puppy receives in the first year of life will influence their adult health, Diamond Puppy Formula is precisely formulated to meet their special nutritional needs. The correct balance of fat, protein, and other essential nutrients ensures your puppy receives the proper nutrients to grow strong and healthy. And, this formula meets the increased nutritional demands of gestating and lactating adult dogs, too.
For more than 30 years, Diamond Pet Foods has stood for "super premium" pet food at an affordable price.
For more than 30 years breeders, veterinarians, hunters, and pet owners have relied on the Diamond name for consistency, super premium quality, and value.
The Diamond Difference.
Guaranteed Levels of Omega-6/Omega-3 Fatty Acids
While all pet foods contain omega-6 (linoleic acid) Diamond, is one of the few which supplements with omega-3 (linolenic acid) to ensure the proper omega-6/omega-3 balance, according to scientific research.
This balance (5:1 to 10:1) promotes:
- the reduction of inflammation in skin, joints, and gastrointestinal system
- improved overall health
- an enhanced immune system--especially important for puppies whose immune systems are not as developed as an adult dogs and adult dogs with the added stress of pregnancy and lactation
High Quality Ingredients
Diamond Puppy Formula begins with premium ingredients, including:
- Multiple animal protein sources: Including chicken, fish, and egg protein to ensure the best amino acid ratio for optimum muscle growth.
- Flaxseed: A natural highly palatable source of omega-3 fatty acids.
- Chicken fat: One of the most digestible of pet food fat sources, it also yields optimum levels of linoleic (omega-6) fatty acids. A key ingredient for fast growing puppies and gestating/lactating females with increased energy demands.
- Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols (a form of vitamin E).
- Chicken by-product meal: Low ash, highly digestible, primarily smooth muscle protein.
- Correct levels of vitamins and minerals: Specifically formulated levels of vitamins and minerals to guard against deficiencies (resulting from inadequate amounts), and toxic reactions (resulting from excessive amounts) both of which may be harmful, specially important for growing puppies, and gestating and lactating adults.
Consistency Through In-Plant Control and Manufacturing
Because dogs are sensitive to diet changes, Diamond utilizes a fixed formula and single source suppliers to ensure Diamond Puppy Formula maintains the same taste, texture, and nutritional content in every bag. Diamond Pet Foods manufactures their own pet foods and controls all critical aspects of its formulas.
State-of-the Art Production Facility
Premium ingredients are only the beginning. How pet foods are produced is just as important as what goes into them. Unlike some pet food companies, Diamond uses a unique in-house processing system which:
- retains the maximum potential of each ingredient
- enhances nutrient digestibility
- produces exceptional flavor and uniform texture
- maintains overall product consistency
