Natures Menu Mighty Mixer with Salmon & Potato – 2kg

Natures Menu Mighty Mixer with Salmon & Potatoes – 2kg

A mixer biscuit designed to go alongside raw meat rather than to replace it. Potato leads the composition at 25%, followed by oats at 23.6% and peas at 23.5%, with salmon at 14.5% — so the carbohydrate and fibre side of a raw-fed dog's day is what this is actually for.

Carrots, apple, poultry fat, flaxseed and fish oil round it out, with dried broccoli and kelp in small amounts and chicory root for fibre. At 367 kcal per 100g and protein 14%, a scoop adds bulk and energy to a raw meal without pushing the protein higher still.

Performance & Benefits

• Potato 25%, oats 23.6%, peas 23.5% and salmon 14.5%.
• Carrots 4.9%, apple 3%, poultry fat 2.6%, flaxseed 1% and fish oil 1%.
• Dried broccoli 0.2%, kelp 0.1%, plus chicory root and rosemary.

• Flaxseed and fish oil supply the omega fats that a lean raw ration can be short of.

Suitable For

• Dogs fed a raw meat-based diet that needs bulking out.
• Adding structure and fibre to a meal of raw mince or nuggets.
• Households that want a salmon-based mixer rather than a poultry one.
• Dogs that need more energy per meal without more protein.
• Not suitable as the only food — it is a complementary mixer, so a complete diet such as the Natures Menu Original cans or pouches is what it goes alongside.

Feeding

• Mix with raw meat or a wet food; this is a complement to a meal, not the meal.
• Start with a small proportion and build up as the dog's digestion settles.
• Weigh what you add rather than judging a scoop by eye — it is 367 kcal per 100g.
• Keep fresh drinking water available at all times.
• Natures Menu publish no gram-per-kilo feeding chart for this mixer on their website; follow the guide on the bag and feed to condition.

Care & Caution

• This is a complementary food and is not complete and balanced. Fed on its own it will not meet a dog's requirements.
• It contains poultry fat as well as salmon, so it is not a fish-only product for a dog on a poultry exclusion diet.
• Oats are present — do not use it for a dog that must avoid cereals.
• Introduce it gradually; a sudden change of ration upsets most dogs.
