As pet parents, we know that choosing the right nutrition for your growing pup is a top priority. Just like babies, puppies have unique preferences, dietary needs, and sensitivities. That's why we've crafted our chicken-free I14 Nutram Ideal Solution Support Skin, Coat & Stomach Puppy Lamb Meal & Brown Rice recipe, tailored for pet parents seeking a chicken-free option for their puppies' specific dietary needs while introducing more variety to mealtime.

Let’s look at some of the reasons you might want to consider chicken-free dog food and how our new recipe can address your puppies' nutritional requirements.

Does Your Puppy Need a Chicken-Free Diet?

There are several reasons to consider a chicken-free diet for your puppy. 

Firstly, if you suspect a food allergy, eliminating chicken can help address potential sensitivities and alleviate digestive issues. In fact, chicken is one of the primary triggers for allergies in dogs. If you observe allergy symptoms in your puppy, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and itchiness, poultry could be the underlying cause.

Additionally, just like we all have that one food we'd rather avoid, your puppy might have unique food preferences. Offering alternative protein options can introduce variety to their diet while providing balanced nutrition. 

For high-energy puppies and those with active lifestyles, a chicken-free diet offers protein-rich alternatives that can fuel their boundless energy and support growth.

Small paws, BIG needs

At Nutram we look at the unique needs of puppies during their early stages of life when crafting our recipes. Creating kibble that meets these needs involves a delicate balance of nutrients and careful consideration of various factors. Puppies require more calories and essential nutrients per pound of body weight than adult dogs to fuel their rapid growth and development. We also factor in the puppy's size, breed, activity level, and potential sensitivities to tailor their recipes, and make sure that the kibble size is just right for easy chewing and digestion. 

What’s in the bag? Nutram’s new I14 Chicken-Free Recipe

Our I14 Ideal Solution Support Skin, Coat & Stomach Puppy Lamb Meal & Brown Rice is designed to provide a holistic, balanced blend of essential nutrients to support your puppy's growth journey, and is suitable for puppies of all ages and breeds. 

What sets this recipe apart is that it’s chicken-free, making it ideal for puppies with sensitive stomachs. The carefully selected ingredients not only address your puppy's dietary needs, but also cater to their taste preferences.

Lamb: lamb is an excellent source of high-quality protein and essential amino acids which support muscle development and overall growth. Its gentle nature makes it easy to digest and is particularly beneficial for puppies with sensitive tummies.

Digestive Fibre: a blend of fibre sources such as pumpkin and oats, aids in digestion, helping to maintain a healthy digestive system and prevent gastrointestinal issues. These ingredients are gentle on the stomach, reducing the likelihood of digestive upset, and provide essential nutrients to fuel your puppy's growth and energy needs.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: in addition to providing easily digestible proteins and carbohydrates, our recipe contains a unique blend of salmon oil and flaxseed, both rich sources of Omega-3s, to support the normal cognitive development in your young pet. These fatty acids also promote the health of your puppy’s skin and coat.

Vitamins and Minerals (including A, D, E, B12 and Calcium): our recipe includes a precise mix of vitamins and minerals, bolstering your puppy's immune system, promoting strong bone development, and contributing to their overall health.

Puppy Portion Control

Feeding your puppy requires a balanced approach. Always refer to the feeding guidelines provided on the bag to ensure you are giving your pup the optimal amount of food. These guidelines are usually based on your puppy's weight and age. Keep in mind that portion sizes will change as your puppy grows. Regular veterinarian check-ups can help you monitor your puppy's growth and adjust their diet accordingly.

Your pup's health and happiness depend on the choices you make. Our I14 recipe offers a complete solution for pet parents seeking an alternative protein source for their pups. Whether your fur baby has allergies, a unique taste preference, or simply needs a wholesome and balanced diet, this recipe ticks all the boxes!
