Gelert Country Choice Maintenance Lamb and Rice – 12kg Dog Food

Gelert Country Choice Maintenance Lamb & Rice – 12kg

Lamb meat meal at 28% makes this the highest meat inclusion in Gelert’s Maintenance line, and at 24% protein it sits a point above the chicken recipe. The white rice base is the same at 30%, with lamb tallow at 3.5% and flaxseed oil at 1.5% taking the fat to 10%.

At 330 kcal per 100g it falls between the chicken and fish recipes for energy. Crude ash is declared at 10%, well above the chicken recipe’s 5%, which is what a high meat-meal inclusion brings with it. The joint and gut additions are in at the same rates as the rest of the range.
