Hello, if it is specifically for large breeds, why do Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate not included in the ingredients? Thanks!

This is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth gestation and lactation. This food has a balanced ratio of calcium and phosphorus to promote a steady growth rate, helping to avoid common joint and bones problems instead of using Glucosamine and Chondroitin. The large breed adult food does contain these ingredients for when your puppy is maturing into adulthood.

How many cups of food are in this 28 pound bag?

There are approximately 112 cups of food in this bag.

What is the difference between the purple and green bag ?

This variety (green bag) is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth gestation and lactation, including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult). The Pro Pac Ultimates Chicken Meal & Brown Rice Puppy Dry Dog Food (purple bag) is not formulated for the nutritional needs of large breed puppies however, that variety is suitable for small and medium breed puppies.

Good health begins with proper feeding. Ultimates can help maintain your dog’s health when combined with exercise, veterinary care, and controlling intake of other food and treats. Use this chart as a guide, adjusting as necessary to maintain optimal weight. Portions will vary according to age, breed, temperament, and environment. When introducing Ultimates, mix increasing amounts of Ultimates with decreasing amounts of the current food over a 7 to 10 day period. During gestation and lactation, feed 2 to 4 times the portions recommended for the weight of your adult dog. Puppies often begin to eat solid foods at 3 to 4 weeks of age. Food can be served dry or with warm water (3 parts food to 1 part water). Offer clean, fresh water at all times. See your veterinarian regularly. On days 1 & 2 of the change, you should have plenty of your pet's old food left. Fill the bowl with 3 quarters of the old food, and one quarter of Ultimates. On days 3 & 4, add in another quarter, so you have half old food, half Ultimates. On days 5 & 6, mix one quarter old food and 3 quarters Ultimates . On only 7 days, your pet will be on an all-new diet of Ultimates.
