Changes

- Pea fiber added as an insoluble fibre source to support digestive health
- Crude fibre and calcium values were updated to reflect the most accurate nutrient values in this recipe
- The EPA+DHA values are reported as one value to be consistent with how these nutrients are reported in the AAFCO nutrient profiles. Values were updated to reflect the most accurate levels and remain sufficient to support the cognitive health of growing puppies
- Taurine was added to the GA to highlight that we include taurine in all our kibble recipes
- L-carnitine was added to the GA to draw attention to its inclusion in the recipe and its functional benefits of supporting heart health/ fat burning
- Omega 6 values were updated to reflect the most up to date nutrient values in this recipe
