Enhanced Joint Support: Enriched with Glucosamine and Chondroitin (specific amounts not provided in search results) to support healthy joint cartilage development and protect the joints of these future heavy dogs who are prone to joint stress .

Immune System Support: Fortified with essential vitamins, minerals, and natural antioxidants to help support a strong and robust immune system during the vulnerable puppy stage .
