Symply Adult Dry Dog Food with Fresh Chicken 12kg

Symply Fresh Chicken Adult Dry Dog Food, 12kg

Symply's chicken kibble in the big bag: 12kg of adult dry dog food built on freshly prepared chicken. Chicken is the recipe most dogs settle on, and at this size the cost per meal drops to the point where it is the sensible buy for anything bigger than a spaniel.

A 12kg bag is a commitment, so it is worth being sure the dog eats it before buying at this size — the 2kg bag of the same recipe exists for exactly that. Once you are settled on it, store the bag rolled down and clipped, or decant it into a bin, because kibble left open loses its smell long before it goes off.

Performance & Benefits

• Freshly prepared chicken as the named protein, rather than an unspecified meat meal
• 12kg bag, which is where the cost per meal on a dry diet really falls
• The plainest recipe in the Symply dry range and the usual starting point
• Kibble keeps for months unopened, unlike wet food once a tray is broken into
• Suits free feeding or set mealtimes equally
• One bag covers a household of adult dogs of different sizes

Suitable For

• Adult dogs of any breed on a dry diet
• Medium and large dogs, where a 2kg bag lasts barely a fortnight
• Multi-dog households buying in bulk
• Dogs already settled on chicken and unlikely to need a change
• Not the bag to start with if you have not tried the food — the Symply Fresh Chicken 2kg is the one to test with

Feeding

• Symply print the daily amount for your dog's bodyweight on the 12kg bag; use that rather than a figure quoted by a retailer
• Weigh the ration on kitchen scales rather than using a scoop — scoops vary and kibble settles
• Split the day's food across two meals, and drop or add about 10% on body condition rather than on the chart alone
• Change over across about a week, mixing an increasing share of Symply Fresh Chicken into the current food
• A working or very active dog needs more than the chart suggests; a neutered dog in a flat usually needs less
• Fresh drinking water at all times, which matters more on a dry diet than a wet one

Composition & Analysis

• Symply's own published composition and analytical constituents for this recipe could not be retrieved at the time of writing, so no figures are reproduced here
• The composition, the analytical constituents and Symply's feeding guide are printed on the bag — read them before you move a dog onto it
• Symply's own name for this product is Fresh Chicken for All Dog Breeds
• The recipe is the same in the 2kg and 12kg bags, so the analysis on either bag applies to both
