Canagan Free-Run Chicken Dry Dog Food 12kg

Canagan Free-Run Chicken Dry Dog Food – 12kg

12kg is the biggest bag Canagan pack Free-Run Chicken in, and it is aimed at the household that has already settled on the recipe. A 30kg dog on maintenance takes 290g a day, so the bag runs roughly six weeks; two 15kg dogs eat through it in about forty days. The kibble, the composition and the 391 kcal per 100g are identical to the 2kg and 6kg bags.

The recipe itself is 26% freshly prepared free-range chicken with a further 26% dried chicken, sweet potato and potato in place of grain, and salmon oil, dried egg, seaweed and a short botanical list — camomile, marigold, cranberry, peppermint, aniseed and fenugreek. Glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin are included in the kibble rather than sold separately.

Performance & Benefits

• Chicken makes up 52% of the recipe, split evenly between freshly prepared and dried.
• 34% crude protein against 17% crude fat — Canagan's standard adult ratio.
• 391 kcal per 100g, so portions stay small relative to a lower-energy food.
• Glucosamine 830 mg/kg, MSM 830 mg/kg, chondroitin sulphate 610 mg/kg.
• No wheat, maize, rice, artificial colours or artificial preservatives.
• Buying the 12kg rather than the 2kg brings the cost per day down substantially for a big dog.

Suitable For

• Large dogs of 25kg and up, and multi-dog households, where a smaller bag empties too quickly.
• Owners already established on the recipe who want the lowest cost per day.
• Adults and puppies of all breed sizes.
• A 12kg bag is too much for a toy dog eating 65–80g a day — it would be open for five months, so the 2kg bag is the better buy.
• Dogs with a chicken sensitivity should be on Canagan Scottish Salmon or Grass Fed Lamb instead.

Feeding

• Adult maintenance: 290g at 30kg bodyweight, 370g at 40kg, 450g at 50kg.
• Active adults exercising over an hour a day: 350g at 30kg, 420g at 40kg, 540g at 50kg.
• Puppies expected to reach 25–45kg take 375g at two to three months and peak at 430g around eight to nine months.
• Transition across seven days rather than switching in one meal.
• Roll the bag closed and keep it out of direct heat; a 12kg bag stays open for weeks and the fat content is what goes first.
