Skinner's Field & Trial Puppy Lamb & Rice 15kg

Skinner's Field & Trial Puppy Lamb & Rice – 15kg

A 15kg bag of puppy food only makes sense for a large breed or a litter, and this is the recipe for exactly that: Skinner's formulate it for steady rather than fast growth, with crude fibre at 4% and a moderate 24% protein against 12% fat.

Lamb meat meal at 15.5% and pea protein sit over brown rice at 39.3%, and the recipe is declared maize, barley and wheat gluten free. Because Skinner's rate it from weaning to about eighteen months, one bag size carries a big pup a long way.

Performance & Benefits

• Formulated for controlled, steady growth rather than the fastest possible gain.
• 24% crude protein and 12% crude fat, at 348 kcal per 100g.
• Brown rice 39.3% with lamb meat meal 15.5% and pea protein.
• Crude fibre at 4%, the highest of the growth recipes.
• MOS 2,500mg/kg, FOS 1,000mg/kg and clinoptilolite clay at 3,000mg/kg.
• Glucosamine 250mg/kg and chondroitin sulphate 150mg/kg while joints are forming.

Suitable For

• Large and giant breed puppies, where growth rate matters most.
• Litters, and households rearing more than one puppy at once.
• Puppies from weaning to around eighteen months — no mid-way food change.
• Puppies sensitive to maize, barley or wheat gluten.
• Too much food for one small-breed puppy; the 2.5kg bag of the same recipe is the size for that.

Feeding

• Four small meals a day at weaning, then three, then two as the puppy grows.
• Skinner's publish their daily amounts as a bodyweight chart rather than a single figure, so work from the guide printed on the bag and adjust to condition.
• Moisten with tepid water for a newly weaned pup and taper the water off over a few weeks.
• Keep a large-breed puppy lean through growth; a well-covered pup is not the same as a well-grown one.
• Store the bag sealed and out of the heat, and decant only what a week needs.
• Fresh drinking water at all times.
