Feeding Recommendation
Use: Add 1 tsp Puppy Balancer for every 1/3 cup Simple Food.
Note: Puppy Balancer is a concentrated blend of vitamins and minerals from whole foods, designed to support your puppy’s growth through their first year (and beyond, if needed!).
Complete & Balanced
Pairing Puppy Balancer with the Beef & Salmon, Duck & Trout, or Chicken & Turkey recipes meets AAFCO’s Growth & Reproduction standards—making each a complete & balanced puppy diet.
If your puppy will be over 70 lbs, pair Puppy Balancer with the Bison or Lamb recipes to ensure a complete & balanced meal for large-breed growth.
The Duck recipe is formulated for all life stages and does not require Puppy Balancer.
By itself, Puppy Balancer is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.

About the Project
Every pet deserves real food– whole, high-quality food that we believe helps all pets thrive.
What goes into recipes is every bit as important as what’s left out so, using nothing but whole foods, Dr. Bessent formulated limited-ingredient recipes. Then, using some rather cutting-edge spaceman technology, she freeze-dried them so that every benefit of raw, whole food was available for your pet.
It’s real, whole food nutrition without compromising convenience, and that really makes the decision around how and what to feed your four-legger simple.
