Canagan Small Breed Scottish Salmon Dry Dog Food – 2kg

Canagan Small Breed Scottish Salmon Dry Dog Food – 2kg

This is the only recipe in the Canagan small-breed dry range with no poultry, no red meat and no egg in it at all. Freshly prepared Scottish salmon leads at 30.5%, with dried herring at 12.2%, freshly prepared trout at 6.6%, dried salmon at 5% and dried white fish at 2% behind it — fish is the entire animal contribution.

That makes it genuinely useful as an exclusion diet for a small dog, and the declared omega 3 of 2% is the highest of the Canagan dry dog recipes verified here. Crude protein sits at 29%, lower than the game and poultry recipes, which suits a small dog that does not need the extra.
