Carnilove Active Venison, Reindeer & Wild Boar Grain-Free Dry Dog Food 12kg

Carnilove ACTIVE Venison, Reindeer & Wild Boar Grain-Free Dry Dog Food – 12kg

The 12kg sack of Carnilove's three-game recipe, and the size that working homes get through. A 30kg dog at the regular-activity rate of 350g a day empties it in about five weeks; the same dog on the extreme-activity column at 480g a day does it in under four.

Venison leads at 26% fresh, with reindeer protein at 14% and wild boar at 4%. The point of the recipe is energy density — 4,000 kcal/kg and 20.0% fat — so a dog can take in what a long day demands without having to eat an unreasonable volume of kibble.

Care & Caution

• At 20.0% fat and 4,000 kcal/kg this is the richest food in the Carnilove ACTIVE dog range. Fed at maintenance amounts to a dog that is not working, it will put weight on.
• Not a sensible choice for a dog with a history of pancreatitis or fat intolerance — talk to your vet first.
• Step up to it gradually. Going straight from a 14–16% fat food to a 20% fat one commonly causes loose motions for a few days.
