Overview
NutriSource's puppy formula for small and medium breed dogs lists chicken meal and rice as its named protein and grain sources, sold as a 26 pound bag under model 26310. No ingredient panel or feeding chart was included with this listing, so the bag itself is the clearest source for the actual nutrient analysis.
The listing data here does not include a full ingredient list, feeding guide or life stage breakdown, which matters more for puppies than adult dogs since growth rate and calcium levels vary by breed size. Chicken meal and rice as named ingredients suggest a single protein style recipe, but confirm actual nutrient percentages on the bag before switching a puppy onto it.
- Chicken meal and rice recipe
- 26 lb bag size
- Model 26310
- Formulated for small and medium breed puppies
Who it's for
This suits owners of small to medium breed puppies looking for a chicken and rice based kibble. It is not marketed for large or giant breed puppies, whose growth needs typically call for a separate formula.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Named protein source (chicken meal)
- Sized for small and medium breed puppies
- 26 lb bag covers an extended feeding period
- No ingredient panel or nutrient analysis supplied in this listing
- No feeding chart data available here
Performance notes
Kibble quality for a growing puppy generally comes down to named protein source, fat and calcium levels tied to life stage, and calorie density matched to expected adult size. This listing names chicken meal and rice but does not supply the nutrient percentages that would confirm how it performs against those benchmarks, so that check falls to the bag label.
