Is NutriSource Adult Chicken & Rice good for dogs with sensitive stomachs?

Many owners report firmer stools and less gas after switching, helped by the added prebiotics and probiotics. Dogs with a diagnosed chicken allergy should avoid it, since chicken is the only animal protein.

How does it compare with grain-free foods?

It keeps brown rice, barley and oatmeal in the recipe, which suits owners who prefer grains and a low-glycemic base. Grain-free foods replace those with legumes or potatoes and often carry higher protein.

What is the protein and fat content?

It has 21.5% protein and 11% fat, a moderate maintenance level for adult dogs. Active or working dogs may need a higher-protein formula.

What sizes does it come in?

It is sold in 3kg and 14kg bags. The 3kg suits small dogs or trial feeding, and the 14kg suits multi-dog homes.

Is it suitable for puppies or senior dogs?

No, it is formulated for adult maintenance. Puppies and seniors should get a food matched to their life stage.

The food is made in the USA with humane-certified chicken, though the pack lists Germany as the country of manufacture, so check the bag for the batch origin.
