Canagan Free-Run Chicken Large Breed Dry Dog Food 2kg

Canagan Free-Run Chicken Large Breed Dry Dog Food – 2kg

Canagan's large-breed recipe keeps the free-range chicken and the 34% protein of the standard food but lifts the joint package: glucosamine and MSM at 1,450 mg/kg each and chondroitin sulphate at 1,060 mg/kg, roughly three-quarters more than the all-breed version. Energy is unchanged at 391 kcal per 100g, so it is not a reducing diet — it is the same food built for a heavier frame.

The useful difference for a puppy owner is the feeding table. This is the only Canagan chicken recipe whose growth chart runs past 45kg, giving daily amounts for giant breeds from two to three months right through to eighteen. At 2kg the bag is a trial size; Canagan's only other option in this recipe is 12kg.

Performance & Benefits

• Glucosamine and MSM at 1,450 mg/kg each, chondroitin sulphate at 1,060 mg/kg.
• 26% freshly prepared free-range chicken with 26% dried chicken, 52% in total.
• Crude protein 34%, crude fat 17%, calcium 1.4%, phosphorus 0.97%, 391 kcal per 100g.
• Feeding tables extend to 70kg adults and to giant-breed puppies of 45kg and above.
• Salmon oil at 1.2% and dried egg at 3%, giving omega 6 2.7% and omega 3 0.44%.
• Grain free, with sweet potato, peas and potato carrying the carbohydrate.

Suitable For

• Adult dogs from about 25kg upwards, and giant breeds to 70kg.
• Large and giant-breed puppies, where controlled calcium during growth matters.
• Breeds with a known joint history — retrievers, shepherds, mastiff types.
• Not a weight-reduction food; an overweight large dog is better on Canagan Free-Run Chicken Light/Senior.
• Small and toy breeds get nothing extra from it and should have Canagan Free-Run Chicken or the Small Breed recipes.

Feeding

• Adult maintenance under an hour of exercise: 290g at 30kg bodyweight, 370g at 40kg, 450g at 50kg, 520g at 60kg, 600g at 70kg.
• Active adults over an hour a day: 350g at 30kg, 420g at 40kg, 540g at 50kg, 640g at 60kg, 715g at 70kg.
• Giant-breed puppies expected to exceed 45kg: 510g at two to three months, peaking at 605g from eight to eleven months, then easing to 540g by seventeen or eighteen months.
• Large-breed puppies of 25–45kg expected adult weight: 375g at two to three months, peaking at 430g at eight to nine months.
• Split the day's food into two or three meals for a deep-chested dog rather than feeding it all at once.

Care & Caution

• This is a complete food with calcium set at 1.4% for controlled large-breed growth. Do not add a calcium or bone-meal supplement on top — excess calcium during growth is a recognised cause of skeletal problems in large and giant breeds.
• Feed a growing giant-breed puppy to the chart and to its body condition, not to appetite. Overfeeding a fast-growing skeleton carries more risk than underfeeding it.
