Symply Large Breed Adult Dry Dog Food with Chicken & Sweet Potato 12kg

Symply Fresh Chicken Large Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, 12kg

The large breed version of Symply's chicken kibble, in the 12kg bag. Big dogs are not just bigger — they carry more weight through the same joints, they eat faster, and a larger kibble piece slows them down, which is worth having in a breed prone to bloating.

At 12kg this is the realistic bag size for a large dog, because a 2kg bag of anything disappears inside a week in a household with a retriever in it. Symply list this product as Fresh Chicken for Large Dog Breeds.

Performance & Benefits

• Freshly prepared chicken as the named protein, with sweet potato alongside
• Formulated by Symply for large breeds rather than adapted from an all-breed food
• Larger kibble pieces, which slow down a dog that eats too fast
• 12kg bag, the only sensible size for a dog of this size fed daily
• Chicken, the recipe most large dogs settle on without argument
• Same recipe as the 2kg bag, at the bulk price

Suitable For

• Large adult breeds — retrievers, shepherds, setters and similar
• Dogs that bolt their food and need a bigger piece to slow them
• Households feeding one or more large dogs every day
• Owners buying in bulk rather than weekly
• Not the food for a toy breed — the Symply Fresh Turkey for Small Breed Dogs is the one with the smaller kibble

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 adjust by about 10% either way on body condition
• Change over across about a week, mixing an increasing share of Symply Fresh Chicken Large Breed 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

• Large breeds are best fed twice daily rather than once, and exercise left until an hour or two after a meal
