IAMS Complete Dry Dog Food for Puppy Large Breeds with Chicken 12 kg

Product Information

Wet or Dry? When puppies are teething, they really benefit from the crunch of dry dog food. However, you should be soaking their dog food in water or goat milk to soften it before they eat for the first month or so that you have them anyway. Dry food is good for their oral health, especially if they do not have chews, and wet food makes for a delicious treat that many dogs love. The simple answer is to mix them for a balanced diet that will benefit them. We also note the presence of inositol in the food. Inositol is a component of the B vitamin complex. It can be found in plant and animal tissue and it is necessary for the growth of yeasts and other fungi. It’s especially important as a part of a phospholipid found in the brain.

We would like to know more about Iams’ claim of having “Seven essential nutrients nourish the heart.” They make this claim about many of their foods but we’ve never been sure exactly which nutrients they are referring to.

The food contains the natural sweetener Fructooligosaccharides which is 30 to 50 percent as sweet as other commercial sweeteners/syrups. It is usually derived from fruits and vegetables but it can come from grains and cereals. Dogs don’t really need sugar added to their diet. However, fructooligosaccharides (FOS for short) has some other benefits. It’s becoming popular as a prebiotic, for example, helping to increase gastrointestinal health. According to some sources, it may also help prevent yeast infections. According to some studies, FOS, together with inulin (which is not present in this particular dog food) promotes the absorption of calcium in animals (and in people). The microflora in the lower gut is able to ferment FOS which leads to a reduced pH. Since calcium is more soluble in acidic conditions, the intestines are better able to digest foods that contain calcium and transfer it to the bloodstream. FOS can also be considered a small dietary fiber with a low caloric value.Strong muscles: With high quality animal protein and essential minerals to help maintain strong muscles; Supplemented levels added at time of manufacture; Sensory Additives: Calcium: 1.3%, phosphorus: 1.0%; Nutritional Additives: None Stated.
