Hill's Science Diet Puppy Large Breed Chicken & Brown Rice is a dry kibble formulated to support controlled bone growth, healthy development, and digestive balance in large-breed puppies.

Raising a large-breed puppy requires different nutrition than smaller dogs. This recipe combines high-quality proteins, a targeted calcium level, DHA from fish oil, and a prebiotic fiber blend to support skeletal development, brain and eye maturation, immunity, and gut health. Formulated by Hill's Pet Nutrition and made in the USA with trusted global ingredients, this kibble aims to help big puppies grow steadily toward their adult size.

How does this food support large-breed bone and joint development?

The formula uses controlled levels of calcium and balanced minerals that are important for gradual, healthy bone growth in large-breed puppies—helping minimize excessive rapid growth that can stress developing joints. High-quality protein supports muscle development that helps protect growing skeletal structure.

• Optimized calcium and phosphorus ratio for controlled bone growth
• High-quality protein to build supporting muscle
• Formulated specifically for large-breed growth rates

Will it help my puppy’s brain, vision, and immune development?

Yes. The recipe includes DHA from fish oil to support early brain and eye development, plus an antioxidant blend to aid the immature immune system. These nutrients are selected to support the common developmental needs of large-breed puppies during their rapid growth phase.

• DHA-rich fish oil for cognitive and visual support
• Targeted antioxidant blend for immune support
• Vitamins and minerals chosen for puppy developmental stages

How does this kibble support digestion and gut health?
