🐰 Rabbit Puppy Formula - Controlled Growth for Puppies

🐰 Rabbit Meat (Premium Novel Protein for Sensitive Puppies)

Why Rabbit Meat? The #1 hypoallergenic protein for puppies with sensitive stomachs. Rabbit is a novel protein source that 99% of puppies have never been exposed to, making it ideal for preventing food sensitivities during critical development. Highly digestible, lean, and naturally raised without hormones or antibiotics.

Key Benefits:
• Complete protein with all essential amino acids for strong muscle development
• Novel protein - lowest allergy risk of any meat (perfect for bully breeds prone to sensitivities)
• Highly digestible - gentle on developing puppy digestive systems
• Rich in iron for healthy blood cell production & sustained energy
• High in B vitamins (B3, B6, B12) for nervous system development & metabolism
• Selenium for thyroid function & antioxidant protection during growth
• Zinc for immune health, wound healing & skin integrity
• Natural bone content provides calcium & phosphorus in ideal 1:1.5 ratio
• Lean protein prevents excess fat that could trigger rapid growth spurts
• Highly palatable - even picky puppies love the mild, savory flavor

🌱 Organic Puppy Microgreens Blend (Broccoli, Sunflower, Pea Shoots)

Why These 3 Microgreens? Concentrated therapeutic doses instead of spreading thin across 5+ varieties. 40x more nutrients than mature vegetables. Grown on our Tennessee farm without pesticides or chemicals. This is why we're named BullyGreen!

THE PERFECT PUPPY TRIO:

Broccoli Microgreens (40% of blend):
• Sulforaphane - powerful anti-inflammatory compound protects developing joints & cartilage
• Vitamin C for collagen synthesis (critical for connective tissue development)
• Vitamin K for proper bone mineralization & blood clotting
• Calcium for skeletal development without excess that causes rapid growth
• Concentrated antioxidants fight inflammation during growth spurts
• Supports healthy hip & elbow joint development (prevents dysplasia)

Sunflower Microgreens (40% of blend):
• HIGHEST Vitamin E of all microgreens (22mg/100g) - critical for immune system development
• Complete digestible plant protein supports muscle growth
• B vitamins (B1, B5, B6) for energy metabolism during active puppy stage
• Zinc for immune function & healthy cell division
• Iron supports red blood cell production & oxygen transport
• Selenium for thyroid function & antioxidant protection
• Mild, nutty flavor puppies love

Pea Shoot Microgreens (20% of blend):
• Folate (Vitamin B9) - ESSENTIAL for DNA synthesis & rapid cell division during growth
• Vitamin C boosts immune system & enhances iron absorption
• Vitamin A for vision development & immune function
• Easily digestible plant protein complements rabbit meat
• Sweet, tender flavor increases palatability for picky eaters
• Natural enzymes aid digestion & nutrient absorption

🍠 Organic Sweet Potato (Complex Carb Energy for Growing Puppies)

Why Sweet Potato? Low-glycemic complex carbohydrate provides dense, sustained energy without blood sugar spikes that trigger rapid bone growth. This is the KEY to preventing skinny, leggy puppies - sweet potato keeps them satisfied and fueled all day without burning through protein for energy.

Key Benefits:
• Dense calories prevent "skinny puppy syndrome" (puppies stay full longer)
• Slow-release energy prevents body from cannibalizing muscle for fuel
• Beta-carotene converts to Vitamin A for vision & immune health
• Dietary fiber supports healthy digestion & regular bowel movements
• Vitamins C & B6 for nervous system development
• Potassium for heart health & muscle function during active play
• Manganese for bone development & metabolism
• Stable blood sugar = controlled growth rate (prevents joint problems)
• Prevents energy crashes that lead to lethargy

🌾 Organic Oatmeal (Fiber & Sustained Energy for Active Puppies)

Why Oatmeal? Gentle grain alternative for puppies sensitive to wheat. Soluble fiber beta-glucan supports heart health, feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and provides slow-digesting calories that keep puppies energized throughout the day without rapid growth spurts.

Key Benefits:
• Beta-glucan soluble fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria (prebiotic for digestive health)
• Slow-digesting carbs prevent energy crashes & maintain stable activity levels
• B vitamins (B1, B5) for energy metabolism during growth
• Iron for oxygen transport & energy production
• Magnesium for muscle & nerve function (prevents growing pains)
• Complementary plant protein adds to overall protein quality
• Gentle on sensitive puppy stomachs (wheat-free alternative)
• Prevents rapid bone growth by providing steady, controlled calories


🌿 Organic Kelp Powder (Superfood Mineral Boost)

Why Kelp? Nature's most mineral-dense superfood from the ocean. Kelp contains over 60 trace minerals and is the richest natural source of iodine for optimal thyroid function. Added post-freeze-drying to preserve 100% of its bioactive compounds.

Key Benefits:
• Iodine for thyroid health - regulates metabolism, energy & weight management
• Natural dental protection - alkalizes oral pH & strengthens tooth enamel
• Prevents tooth decay through enzyme activity & saliva production support
• 60+ trace minerals including calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc & potassium
• Supports healthy skin & shiny coat through omega-3 fatty acids
• Natural detoxification - binds to heavy metals & environmental toxins
• Fucoidan (polysaccharide) for immune system strength & anti-inflammatory benefits
• Alginates support digestive health & nutrient absorption
• Antioxidants (vitamins A, C, E) fight free radicals & slow aging
• Supports joint health & reduces inflammation naturally

Dental Health Powerhouse:
Kelp is one of the few ingredients scientifically proven to reduce plaque formation and prevent tooth decay in dogs. The natural iodine supports healthy saliva production (nature's tooth cleanser), while trace minerals strengthen enamel from within. The alkalizing properties balance oral pH, creating an environment where harmful bacteria cannot thrive.

Our Puppy Rabbit Formula delivers 26% protein (45% rabbit meat = 26% protein after moisture) - the scientifically optimal level for healthy, controlled growth in bully breeds. This prevents rapid weight gain that stresses developing joints and reduces future hip dysplasia and arthritis risk.

⚡ **IMMEDIATE (15-30 min):** Puppy microgreens provide fast enzymes and bioavailable nutrients for active play energy

🔋 **SHORT-TERM (30-60 min):** Oatmeal + amino acids deliver steady energy for training and exploration

🏃 **MID-RANGE (1-2 hours):** Sweet potato + protein metabolism sustain baseline energy between meals

💪 **LONG-TERM (2-4 hours):** Continued protein breakdown supports muscle development and prolonged satiety

## 🐕 **Breed-Specific Benefits: English & French Bulldogs**

Bully breeds have **unique nutritional challenges** during puppyhood:

### **🦴 Skeletal Development Issues:**
- **Problem:** Bulldogs are prone to hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and patellar luxation
- **Solution:** Pea shoot microgreens provide **bioavailable Vitamin K and C** for proper bone and cartilage formation without over-supplementation

### **😤 Breathing & Digestion Challenges:**
- **Problem:** Brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds struggle to chew and digest large kibble, leading to bloat and regurgitation
- **Solution:** Freeze-dried format rehydrates into **soft, easily digestible food** that reduces choking risk

### **🌡️ Overheating & Obesity:**
- **Problem:** Bulldogs overheat easily and gain weight rapidly on high-fat puppy foods
- **Solution:** **Lean rabbit protein** (5-7% fat) + complex carbs provide energy without excess fat storage

### **🧠 Intelligence & Trainability:**
- **Problem:** Bulldogs are often labeled "stubborn" due to poor nutrition affecting brain development
- **Solution:** **Sunflower microgreens** (high Vitamin E) + **rabbit B12** support cognitive function for better training outcomes
