AAFCO: Zignature Puppy Multi-Protein Formula for dogs is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth, including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult). Turkey is the first ingredient.

Turkey and whitefish lead this dry puppy recipe, followed by whitefish meal, chickpeas, and lentils, with pork meal listed further down as a third animal protein source. DHA is guaranteed on the label at a 0.25% minimum, called out separately from the general omega 3 fatty acid guarantee, a detail specific to this puppy formula among the Zignature dry recipes reviewed in this batch. The manufacturer's own AAFCO statement names the product as Zignature Puppy Multi-Protein Formula, formulated to meet the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth, including growth of large size dogs, so it is certified for large breed puppies specifically, unlike the Inception Pork or Essence LIR dry recipes covered earlier in this batch. The same three probiotic strains used across the Original with Probiotics dry line, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus subtilis, and Bifidobacterium bifidum, are guaranteed at 100 million CFU per pound. Turkey fat, preserved with mixed tocopherols, supplies most of the added fat. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
