Black Gold Explorer Puppy Recipe is perfect for small to medium size does who will be less than 70 lbs as an adult. With DHA from salmon oil to support brain and vision development, calcium and phosphorus to promote proper bone development, your puppy will be given all the nutrients he needs to hit the ground running.

For large to giant breed dogs who will be over 70 lbs as an adult, Black Gold Explorer Large Breed Puppy Recipe is a great option. It’s formulated with the appropriate protein, fat, and calcium levels to support the proper growth rate for large and giant breed dogs and contains DHA from salmon oil to support brain and vision development.  They’ll be ready for adventures of all sizes.

While you might not think of your dog as being “old” at seven years, your dog needs different nutrition to ensure the golden years remain ripe with adventure.  Packed full with TruMune® power to support mobility and immunity, L-carnitine to help maintain muscle and healthy weight, and glucosamine and chondroitin to support joint health, Black Gold Explorer Mature 7+ Recipe is for the ones who don’t want to stop.
