Puppy Complete™

Organic Kelp (Ascophylum nodosum) offers the broadest range ofminerals of any food. Kelp is an excellent source of iodine and vitaminK, a very good source of B-vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium,pantothenic acid, and a good source of lignans.

Organic Flaxseed helps promotes normal cell functioning and theproduction of hormone-like substances necessary for energy metabolism, cardiovascular, and immune health

Derived from pumpkin seeds, Organic Pumpkin Protein is a highly digestible source of pre-digested protein, offering a wide array of benefits. With a protein concentration of 75% and essential amino acids, it provides a comprehensive range of nutrients to support your pet's overall health. Furthermore, adding organic pumpkin protein to your pet's diet not only supplies them with a nutrient-rich protein source but also fosters digestive well-being, courtesy of the natural fiber content present in pumpkin. This fiber plays a crucial role in regulating digestion and can effectively alleviate common gastrointestinal issues like constipation or diarrhea.

Ascorbic Acid is a form of Vitamin C that is easily digestible and found to be four times more readily available to body tissue than basic Vitamin C. There is an increased demand for Vitamin C during times of stress such as heavy exercise or injury. Being an important constituent of connective tissue, Vitamin C also serves as a chondroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and immune-responsive substance.

Organic Sunflower Lecithin A key building block of all cell membranes, affecting its structure and integrity. Without lecithin, cell membranes would become hard and rigid. As such, lecithin protects cells from the destructive effects of oxidation. As a component of bile, lecithin also keeps fats emulsified, thereby keeping fats in the body properly balanced and maintained. Lecithin also promotes cell communication for proper cell and organ functioning.

Lipase (dried Aspergillus oryzae fermentation product) is a digestive enzyme needed to help break down fats and form essential fatty acids needed to ensure viable cells. Lipase promotes healthy cholesterol levels, maintenance of healthy weight, and promotes the process of cell permeability, ensuring that the body can assimilate nutrients.

Protease (dried Bacillus subtilis fermentation product) is a digestive enzyme that breaks down peptide bonds found in proteins into the building blocks of amino acids, which can then be easily absorbed by the body through the intestinal walls. In addition, protease decreases the alkalinity of blood, which can help protect against calcium deficiencies.

Amylase (dried Aspergillus niger fermentation product) is a digestive enzyme that helps break down sugars and starches (complex carbohydrates), which are then converted into monosaccharides used by the body for energy.

Hemicellulase (dried Trichoderma reesei fermentation product) is a digestive enzyme used to help digest plant materials.

Cellulase (dried Rhizopus oryzae fermentation extract product) is a digestive enzyme that breaks down cellulose fiber into glucose which is then used by the body for energy. It is also important in the construction of cell membranes.

Bromelain (dried Ananas comosus fermentation product) is a digestive enzyme found in pineapples that helps break down proteins into amino acids. It can be used to treat a number of conditions but is primarily effective in the reduction of inflammation.

Papain (dried Carica papaya fermentation extract product) is a digestive enzyme found in papaya that breaks down peptide bonds in proteins into amino acids which are then available for use by the body.

Plant-based Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of the best-known friendly bacteria and is needed for maintaining a healthy and balanced intestinal microflora. It produces lactic acid in the intestines, which suppresses harmful microbes and aids in preventing yeast overgrowth by increasing its acidity. A pro-biotic bacterium also boosts immune function, increases an animal’s resistance to infection, enhances the digestion of lactose, and aids in the production of vitamins and enzymes. By helping to maintain digestive flora, lactobacillus acidophilus can also be used to help prevent diarrhea.

One of the most significant “friendly bacteria” needed for maintaining a healthy and balanced intestinal tract. It inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and also boosts the immune system by producing lactic acid in the intestines.

A prebiotic that helps stimulate the production of friendly bacteria in the GI track. Fructooligosaccharide also aids in the production of essential nutrients and absorption of calcium in the body.
