Canagan Small Breed Country Game – 2kg

Canagan Small Breed Country Game – 2kg

Country Game is the highest-protein recipe in Canagan's small breed line at 37%, built on freshly prepared duck at 25.3% with dried turkey at 16.5%, dried duck at 6% and freshly prepared venison at 4%. Dried herring at 3% and turkey fat at 3% fill out the animal fraction, and the whole thing is pressed into the same small kibble as the chicken recipe.

It is worth being precise about what is in it, because the name suggests a simple game diet and the composition is more mixed than that: there is chicken gravy at 1.7%, dried herring at 3% and dried egg at 4.2%. Useful ingredients, but they mean this is not a poultry-free or fish-free food.
