Addiction MEGA 20kg: Premium Grain-Free Nutrition for Large & Giant Breed Dogs
New Zealand Crafted • Joint Support • Rapid-Air Dried
Precisely engineered for the unique physiological demands of medium to large breed dogs, Addiction MEGA delivers uncompromising nutrition through its grain-free formulation anchored by ethically sourced, free-range New Zealand lamb and beef—providing a robust foundation of high-quality protein to sustain lean muscle mass, metabolic vitality, and enduring energy throughout active lifestyles. This comprehensive formula integrates targeted functional nutrients: glucosamine fortifies joint cartilage and synovial fluid integrity to mitigate the stresses of weight-bearing movement, while taurine offers prophylactic support for cardiac efficiency and ocular health, addressing vulnerabilities prevalent in larger canines. Augmented by a spectrum of antioxidant-rich botanicals and phytonutrients—including rosemary extract, turmeric, and kelp—this recipe actively neutralizes free radicals and modulates inflammatory pathways, thereby reinforcing immune resilience. Crucially, the large-breed-specific kibble architecture promotes deliberate mastication, slowing ingestion to optimize nutrient assimilation and reduce gastric distress, while the proprietary rapid-air drying process gently eliminates pathogens without compromising heat-sensitive micronutrients, yielding a digestible, bioavailable diet free from artificial additives, grains, or generic fillers.
Scientific Differentiation:
-
Breed-Specific Kibble Design: Oversized pellets (22–25mm diameter) necessitate thorough chewing, stimulating salivary enzymes to initiate digestion while discouraging rapid consumption linked to bloat—a critical safeguard for deep-chested breeds.
-
Advanced Protein Sourcing: Pasture-raised lamb and grass-finished beef from regenerative NZ farms provide a balanced amino acid profile with elevated levels of L-carnitine, enhancing fatty acid metabolism to maintain optimal body condition.
-
Synergistic Joint Preservation: Glucosamine hydrochloride (1,200mg/kg) paired with chondroitin sulfate (800mg/kg) demonstrates clinically proven efficacy in reducing proteoglycan degradation within articular cartilage, delaying osteoarthritis onset in predisposed giants.
-
Cardioprotective Assurance: Taurine sufficiency (0.18%) counters breed-specific deficiencies documented in Dobermans, Newfoundlands, and Great Danes, supporting myocardial contractility and retinal function.
-
Oxidative Stress Defense: Natural antioxidants (vitamin E, selenium, polyphenols) quench reactive oxygen species generated during high-impact exercise, preserving cellular integrity across aging large breeds.
Ideal Candidates:
-
Adolescent to mature dogs exceeding 25kg (e.g., Labradors, Shepherds, Rottweilers, Mastiffs)
-
Breeds with documented joint, cardiac, or food sensitivity predispositions
-
Owners prioritizing metabolic longevity and mobility preservation
-
Households seeking ethically manufactured, low-glycemic diets

Feeding Protocol & Safety:
Transition gradually across 10–14 days to prevent gastrointestinal disruption; strictly adhere to weight-based portion guidelines to prevent developmental orthopedic disease in juveniles. Store unopened bags below 25°C in low-humidity environments, transferring opened product to hermetic containers for consumption within 6 weeks to prevent nutrient oxidation.
