Details
NutriSource’s Grain-Free Small Bites Chicken & Pea Formula is an all-life-stages dry dog food that includes higher levels of protein, fat, and calories to meet the nutritional needs of an active small-breed dog. The meat protein sources in this diet include free-range, Humane Certified chicken from Minnesota and wild-caught salmon, which provides an abundant source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Peas deliver protein, fiber, and low-glycemic carbohydrates; low-glycemic carbohydrates help to stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent excess weight gain. This palatable kibble is a good option for small-breed puppies and small-breed active adult dogs.

Transition Instructions
It takes time to transition your pet to a new food without having digestive upset. Over the course of one to two weeks, you should gradually switch from the old food to the new. Start with a 75% old to 25% new mix, then 50:50, and finally 25:75, until you have switched to NutriSource food entirely.
