Nutro Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy Chicken and Brown Rice, 3 kg

Large-breed eligibility refers to expected adult weight of at least 25 kg, not the puppy’s present weight. Calcium retains both the 1.2% minimum and 1.7% maximum. Analysis and portions are distinct from general puppy and adult medium/large-breed products.

Read the stage wording, nutritional purpose, kibble declaration and full recipe together. Flavour, stage and selected weight identify a specific product. A few matching protein/fat figures cannot establish identical formulations across the range. Complete-food wording, where stated, is retained for its declared stage rather than expanded to stages absent from the maker’s directions. Product-relative health-maintenance descriptions are not individual veterinary treatment claims.

The complete original Japanese ingredient statement is also retained on this product page. Processing ingredients, colourants, minerals, vitamin groups and antioxidants are not omitted to make a shorter-looking or apparently simpler recipe. A flavour word is not a reliable substitute for that statement. The first ingredient, the first member of an animal-ingredient group and the food pictured on the pack can refer to different things.

Presence categories follow the complete declaration, including chicken fat, fish oil, legumes, grains and vegetables/fruit beyond the flavour name. Egg is not classified as dairy; a lamb flavour does not certify chicken-free composition. Natural-ingredient or no-colourant wording does not remove the declared vitamin/mineral groups or antioxidants and is not expanded to an unrestricted additive-free claim.

An unchecked ingredient category does not certify zero trace presence, absence of factory cross-contact or suitability for a particular dog. Where a generic term such as animal oils/fats does not name the species, an unknown species is not supplied. For a medically necessary restriction, use the full current pack statement and product/lot details when asking the maker and veterinary team. The checklist organises documented facts for searching and comparison; it does not approve a food for an individual animal.

The maker’s separately headed “Other contained components” table retains its stated limits and units:

A separate representative-analysis table was not verified in this individual declaration.

Protein at least 26% and fat at least 14% are lower guarantees. In particular, a fat minimum cannot be used as a fat ceiling for a veterinary restriction. Fibre, ash and moisture retain their own original guarantee boundaries. Percentages, IU/kg and mg/kg are different units. A vitamin declaration in IU/kg is not a percentage, and a representative mineral figure is not silently substituted into the guarantee table.

Energy: 360 kcal per 100 g. The explicit per-100-g basis and any approximate qualifier are preserved. This is distinct from total tray or seller-set energy. Moisture is included in the declared percentages. Wet and dry label percentages are not ranked as if they were measurements on the same dry-matter basis. A moisture maximum is not the measured moisture needed to produce a precise dry-matter calculation. Preserve both numerical boundaries and the stated weight basis before comparing figures.

Kibble size: unverified because no explicit size statement was found. The catalogue checks small only when small-kibble wording is explicit. Without an explicit size statement, the site shows the size as unverified rather than inferring it. The dog illustration, breed name and external bag dimensions are not used to invent millimetre-sized grains. A category does not guarantee comfortable chewing or safe swallowing for every individual dog.

Before using a feeding table, distinguish daily total from each meal, product net weight from the seller’s purchase set, and age/body-weight headings from a similarly named formula. Treats and toppers contribute to the whole diet; the principal food’s guarantee alone does not describe everything consumed. Keep fresh drinking water available. Use the received directions and veterinary guidance when adjusting for body condition, activity or illness instead of extrapolating a missing table or giving an unsupported individual prescription.

After opening, the maker advises avoiding direct sunlight, high heat and humidity, using the food promptly and sealing securely to prevent insect entry. An unopened best-before date is not an after-opening storage period; check the received pack instructions.

Online analysis is dated information. A label, recipe, portion guide or package can change while a merchant photograph remains unchanged. Keep the received name, JAN, lot and best-before details available when querying a discrepancy. Where an exact direction was not verified, it is explicitly left unrecorded; an authoritative-looking number is not inserted from memory or another flavour. Health concerns require the individual dog’s history and current product declaration, not a single filter, age badge or ingredient term.

The sale is the single 3 kg product. The purchase button links to the corresponding Rakuten merchant product. This page includes affiliate advertising; the site may receive a commission from a purchase. Check current price, stock, selected variant, pack count, shipping fee, delivery region and best-before details at the merchant before ordering. Where maker and seller declarations differ, the discrepancy is recorded so that the buyer can confirm the actual offered package rather than treating the two statements as one identical formula.

The product image comes from the corresponding linked Rakuten listing and is credited to Rakuten Ichiba. Photographs and illustrations help identify a food; they cannot supply ingredient or feeding text that is absent or unreadable in an image. Packaging can change, so confirm the offered name, JAN and life stage with the seller where the picture differs from a current declaration. The received ingredient statement and directions remain necessary. A Japanese Rakuten listing does not establish international delivery, customs admissibility or permission to import the food into another country. Ordering, payment, delivery, returns and live seller terms are handled by the merchant.
