A highly nutritious diet designed for the long-term maintenance of dogs who have reached maturity as well as for growing puppies and is designed to provide optimum canine nutrition, thus enhancing vitality and disease prevention. This formula contains liberal amounts of herbs that have been shown to aid digestion and improve diarhea and thus may be beneficial for dogs with digestive problems. Our Southwest Chicken & Herbs is a meat based formula that has over 10 lbs of chicken and fish meal for every 20 lbs of dog food and includes eight protein sources. The high levels of amino acids provide the building blocks necessary for a thick vibrant coat, healthy pink skin, a strong immune system and excellent muscle tone. Melanin, a protein that provides pigmentation, is built from amino acids consumed in the diet. Southwest Chicken & Herbs Formula also contains gourmet unrefined walnut oil and herbs such as ginger, anise seed and cumin that are used to assist in digestion and for their anti - oxidant properties. It has a wonderful aroma somewhat reminiscent of baked spicy chicken. Southwest Chicken & Herbs can be fed to dogs allergic to corn. We do not put vitamin K3 (menadione sodium bisulfate) in any of our formulas because of health risks to animals and rely instead on high levels of foods that are high in vitamin k1 such as alfalfa, kelp, oats, egg yolk, and liver.
