Canagan Grass Fed Lamb Dry Dog Food 12kg

Canagan Grass Fed Lamb Dry Dog Food – 12kg

Canagan's declared lamb content is 47.8% freshly prepared plus 8% dried, so 55.8% all told — the highest total meat inclusion of their dry dog range. This listing previously quoted 62%; that figure does not appear anywhere in Canagan's own composition and has been corrected here.

At 12kg this is the bulk bag, worth buying once the recipe has proved itself. A 30kg dog on maintenance eats 290g a day and gets about six weeks from it. The analysis is 31% crude protein, 16% crude fat, 382 kcal per 100g, with omega 3 at 0.96% from 2.7% salmon oil.

Performance & Benefits

• 55.8% lamb in total, the highest meat inclusion in Canagan's dry dog range.
• 31% crude protein, 16% crude fat, 382 kcal per 100g.
• Omega 3 at 0.96%, roughly double the level in Canagan's chicken recipes.
• DL-methionine added at 2,800 mg/kg — the only Canagan dry dog food with it.
• Grain free, with sweet potato, peas, potato protein and potato.
• Lamb gravy at 1% for palatability, and no artificial colours or preservatives.

Suitable For

• Large dogs and multi-dog homes that will use 12kg inside two months.
