Beco Wild Boar Complete Dry Dog Food, 2kg

Beco Wild Boar Complete Dry Dog Food – 2kg

Wild boar is the point of this one. Beco build the recipe on 40% freshly prepared wild boar — a protein most dogs have never met, which is exactly what you want when chicken and beef have already caused trouble. The carbohydrate side is grain free: potato, peas, field beans, pea protein and chickpeas, with duck fat for palatability.

The analysis sits at 20% crude protein and 11% crude fat, so it is a steady everyday diet rather than a performance one. Behind the main ingredients Beco add lucerne, brewer's yeast, chicory, pumpkin, spirulina, camomile, broccoli and milk thistle seed, with freshly prepared free range egg also declared. The 2kg bag is the smallest of the three Beco make.

Performance & Benefits

• 40% freshly prepared wild boar, a novel protein for most dogs.
• Grain free — potato, peas, field beans and chickpeas in place of cereals.
• 20% crude protein and 11% crude fat for everyday adult feeding.
• Chicory included at 10mg/kg, a prebiotic source.
• Pumpkin, spirulina and broccoli each declared at 10mg/kg, with camomile and milk thistle seed.
• Duck fat rather than a generic animal fat, which most dogs find very palatable.

Suitable For

• Adult dogs that have reacted to chicken, beef or lamb.
• Dogs on a grain-free diet by choice or on veterinary advice.
• Owners feeding a small household and wanting a bag that stays fresh — 2kg rather than 6kg or 12kg.
• Fussy feeders, where duck fat and boar do more than a plain poultry kibble.
• Not an exclusion diet for a dog that reacts to egg or duck: freshly prepared free range egg and duck fat are both in the composition.

Feeding

• Beco publish their feeding amounts as a chart on the pack and the product page rather than as a text table, so feed to that chart and adjust to condition.
• Beco's own advice is to treat any published guideline as a starting point and vary it with breed, age and activity.
• Split the daily amount across two meals, and keep fresh water available at all times.
• Move a dog onto it over about a week, mixing an increasing proportion into the old food.
• Reseal the bag after each use and store it somewhere cool and dry to keep the fat from going stale.
