Carnilove Active Salmon & Turkey Grain-Free Dry Dog Food for Small Breeds 1.5kg

Carnilove ACTIVE Salmon & Turkey Grain-Free Dry Dog Food for Small Breeds – 1.5kg

Formulated for adult dogs up to 10kg, with a smaller kibble and a denser recipe than the all-breed version — 35.0% protein, 18.0% fat and 3,910 kcal/kg, because a small dog burns proportionally more energy per kilo of bodyweight and can only fit so much in its stomach.

The 1.5kg bag is well matched to the eater. A 5kg terrier takes 94g a day, so one bag lasts a fortnight and more — long enough to use it up comfortably before the fats in an opened bag start to tire.

Performance & Benefits

• Made for adult dogs up to 10kg, with kibble sized to match.
• 26% fresh salmon and 23% turkey protein.
• 35.0% protein and 18.0% fat at 3,910 kcal/kg, denser than the all-breed recipe.
• Omega-3 at 0.5%, the highest of the adult ACTIVE dog recipes.
• 75.0% of the protein comes from animal sources.
• Glucosamine and chondroitin, useful given how common patella and joint trouble is in small breeds.

Suitable For

• Adult small breeds — terriers, spaniels of the smaller sort, poodles, chihuahuas and similar.
• Dogs that leave larger kibble or struggle to crunch it.
• Small dogs that need calories in a small volume.
• Too energy-dense to be the obvious choice for a larger dog: the all-breed Carnilove ACTIVE Salmon & Turkey suits those better.

Feeding

• Carnilove's daily amounts for small breeds: 1kg 28g, 2kg 48g, 3kg 64g, 4kg 80g, 5kg 94g.
• Continuing: 6kg 108g, 7kg 120g, 8kg 132g, 9kg 145g, 10kg 160g.
• Weigh it. On portions this small, a heaped scoop instead of a level one is a real percentage of the day's food.
• Two meals a day suits most small dogs better than one.
• Change over gradually across a week.
• Fresh water at all times.
