James Wellbeloved Puppy Dry Dog Food Lamb & Rice 2kg – Hypoallergenic & Natural

James Wellbeloved Puppy Lamb & Rice – 2kg

A growing puppy needs more of everything per mouthful than an adult dog does, and the numbers on this recipe show it: protein 28.5%, fat 16.0% and 385 kcal per 100g, against 24.3% protein and 356 kcal for the adult turkey food. Calcium at 1.5% and phosphorus at 1.1% are declared separately, because the ratio between them is what builds bone properly.

Dried lamb protein leads at 19.5%, with white rice at 16%, naked oats, pea protein and brown rice at 13% behind it. Lamb is the choice here for the same reason it is throughout the James Wellbeloved line — it is a protein most puppies have never met, which matters if the plan is to keep the diet simple while you find out what suits.

Performance & Benefits

• Protein 28.5% and fat 16.0%, at 385 kcal per 100g — built for growth, not maintenance.
• Calcium 1.5% and phosphorus 1.1%, declared by James Wellbeloved for bone development.
• Dried lamb protein at 19.5% as the named animal protein.
• Whole linseed at 3.9% and fish oil give omega-3 at 1.9% and omega-6 at 3.1%.
• Chicory extract at 0.25%, the highest prebiotic level of the James Wellbeloved recipes we list.
• Hypoallergenic formulation excluding beef, pork, soya, eggs, dairy and wheat.

Suitable For

• Puppies through the growth phase.
• Puppies whose skin or digestion has been unsettled on a richer or more complex food.
• Owners who want a single named animal protein while a puppy's tolerances are still unknown.
• Not a food to leave a dog on once grown — move to the James Wellbeloved adult range, which is lower in fat and energy.

Feeding

• A complete dry food for puppies. Nothing else needs to be added.
• Fresh drinking water down at all times.
• Split the daily amount across several small meals and reduce the number of meals as the puppy grows.
• Change from the breeder's food gradually over about a week rather than in one meal.
• 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.
