Canagan Free-Run Chicken Dry Dog Food 2kg

Canagan Free-Run Chicken Dry Dog Food – 2kg

This is the recipe the rest of the Canagan dry range is built around: free-range chicken at 26% freshly prepared and 26% dried, sweet potato and potato instead of cereal, and a short list of botanicals — marigold, cranberry, camomile, aniseed and fenugreek — rather than a long one of additives. Canagan declare 34% crude protein, 17% crude fat and 391 kcal per 100g.

2kg is the smallest bag Canagan make it in, which makes it the sensible one for a first try or for a small dog. At the 120g a 10kg dog needs for maintenance it lasts around sixteen days; at 80g for a 5kg dog, closer to twenty-five. If it suits, the 6kg and 12kg bags are the same recipe at a lower cost per day.
