Skinners Field and Trial Salmon and Rice Hypoallergenic Dog Food 2.5kg

Skinner's Field & Trial Salmon & Rice – 2.5kg

Salmon & Rice carries the highest omega-3 level of the rice recipes at 1.55%, which is where the coat condition Skinner's are known for comes from. Salmon meal sits at 26% over brown rice at 40.3%, and vegetable oil rather than poultry fat supplies the added fat.

The 2.5kg bag is the practical size for trying a fish-based diet on a dog whose skin or coat has not settled on poultry. At 25% protein and 12% fat, 358 kcal per 100g, it feeds the same moderate-to-full working range as the chicken recipe.

Performance & Benefits

• Salmon meal at 26% — no poultry protein in the meat fraction.
• Omega-3 at 1.55%, the highest of the rice-based recipes.
• Brown rice at 40.3% with naked oats and peas.
• 25% crude protein and 12% crude fat, at 358 kcal per 100g.
• Vegetable oil in place of poultry fat.
• Glucosamine 350mg/kg, chondroitin sulphate 150mg/kg, seaweed 150mg/kg and yucca 100mg/kg.

Suitable For

• Adult dogs working across the activity range, from picking up to agility.
• Dogs with dull or flaky coats on a poultry-based food.
• Dogs avoiding wheat, maize and barley.
• A small bag for a trial period before moving to the 15kg.
• Wrong for a dog that must avoid fish protein — Field & Trial Lamb & Rice or Duck & Rice are the alternatives in the same sensitive range.

Feeding

• Feed dry from the bag, or moistened with a little tepid water just before the meal.
• Skinner's publish their daily amounts as a bodyweight chart rather than a single figure, so work from the guide printed on the bag and adjust to condition.
• Allow six to eight weeks before judging any change in coat; skin turns over slowly.
• Change over gradually, mixing an increasing share of the new food with the old across several days.
• Complete and balanced, so no fish oil needs adding on top.
• Fresh drinking water at all times.
