IAMS ProActive Health Smart Puppy Dry Dog Food

Being a puppy is a critical point of development in a dog’s life. For the first four weeks of his life a puppy gets all the nutrients he needs from his mother’s milk, which is considered the nutritional gold standard. After that, a puppy formula should take the place of his mother’s milk both during and after weaning—and it’s crucial that this formula provide the same nutrients that are so important for supporting a strong immune system and overall health. The most rapid growth occurs in the first months of a puppy’s life. Puppies come in many breed sizes that grow at very different rates and is a critical factor in selecting the right diet.

IAMS Smart Puppy dry dog food promotes healthy growth with concentrated nutrition specifically designed for small-breed puppies, plus essential DHA for healthy brain development and a wonderful year of firsts.
