Except for when a mother is nursing, no other stage of life requires as much energy and nutrient intake as growth. As most puppies reach their adult body size in just a year, the demands on the diet to provide essential building blocks are great. Regardless of breed, required nutrient levels can be twice those of adult dogs the same size.
Innova Puppy Food meets the urgent nutritional demands of growing puppies, including supplying the extra protein needed to build new tissue like muscle. With even more energy and protein per cup than Innova Adult Dog Food, Innova Puppy Food provides complete and balanced nutrition for this important phase of your dog’s life.

Nutrient Analysis
Commonly referred to as Typical Nutrient Analysis (NA), this describes the nutrient content that a specific pet food formula is expected to achieve based on data from the formula database, or in some cases, from an actual laboratory assay. The goal in posting the Typical NA is to provide nutritionists and veterinarians with information that can aid in the treatment of clinical problems such as a cat with struvite or in working with overly obese dogs to prescribe feeding amounts and diet choice for the animal's success.

NA FAQ's.

Guaranteed Analysis
Guaranteed Analysis describes the nutrient content required by AAFCO labeling standards to be identified on every product package. Since these are guarantees, pet food manufacturers work to formulate diets that meet or exceed the minimum requirements. For more information, read our
