NRC Complete and Balanced Meal
NRC stands for National Research Council, they are a private and non-profit organization that sets out what essential nutrients your dog needs at both the macronutrient and micronutrient level in order to remain in optimal health.
Did you know the general guideline of feeding 2-3% of your dog’s body weight may not be the most accurate way of gauging how much to feed your dog? It could lead to large discrepancies in nutrient levels due to the dog's energy intake and the food's energy density. Always follow the feeding chart specified by your food provider or ask them for one!
