Advance Puppy Large Breed Chicken & Rice is an Australian-made dry food formulated for large breed puppies from 2 to 15 months. The chicken and rice recipe is built around the specific growth demands of breeds expected to reach a larger adult size — their skeletal development is slower and their energy requirements differ meaningfully from small breed puppies.

The formula includes natural colostrum to support gut development and nutrient absorption, alongside prebiotic fibre for a healthy gut microbiome. Calcium and phosphorus levels are calibrated for large breed growth rates — excess of either can cause skeletal problems in fast-growing dogs. Chicken is the primary protein source, with rice for digestibility. Developed by pet nutritionists at Advance's Central Tablelands facility in NSW.

Owners of Labradors, German Shepherds, and similar breeds often look for a formula that accounts for the extended puppy phase larger dogs go through without overloading on calcium. The Australian manufacturing and veterinary nutritionist input give this formula credibility beyond generic puppy kibble scaled up in bag size.
