James Wellbeloved Adult Small Breed Lamb & Rice Hypoallergenic Dry Dog Food, 7.5kg

James Wellbeloved Adult Small Breed Lamb & Rice – 7.5kg

7.5kg is the largest bag James Wellbeloved make any of their small breed recipes in, which is a sensible ceiling: a 6kg terrier eats slowly enough that a bigger bag would go stale. It is the size to buy once a dog is settled on the food, rather than the one to start with.

Lamb is the red meat option in the small breed range and the recipe sits between the chicken and turkey versions on paper — protein 25.1% and fat 13.8%, at 361 kcal per 100g. Crude ash is the highest of the three at 9.6%, which reflects the mineral loading rather than anything to be concerned about.

Performance & Benefits

• Protein 25.1% and fat 13.8%, at 361 kcal per 100g.

Suitable For

• Adult small breed dogs already established on this recipe.
• Dogs that do better on lamb than on poultry.
• Households feeding more than one small dog.
• Too large a bag to trial on — the 1.5kg of the same recipe is the one for that.
• Not a grain-free diet — a dog reacting to cereals needs the James Wellbeloved Fish & Veg Grain-Free food.

Feeding

• A complete dry food; nothing else needs to be fed alongside it.
• Fresh drinking water at all times.
• Two meals a day suits a small dog better than one.
• Reseal the bag after every feed and keep it cool and dry — it matters more on a bag this size.
• James Wellbeloved print the daily amount by bodyweight on the bag and publish it in their own feeding guide; the figures are not given on their product page, so no gram amounts are stated here.
