Skinner's Field & Trial Chicken & Rice Working Dog Food 2.5kg

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

The 2.5kg bag is the one to buy while you are still working out whether a dog suits the recipe. Chicken & Rice is Skinner's moderate-work standard — brown rice at 37.8%, poultry meat meal at 27.5% with a minimum 95% chicken content, and 25% protein against the lowest fat level of the rice recipes at 10%.

It is also the small bag to keep in a car or a caravan for a weekend away, since 2.5kg is about a fortnight for a medium spaniel and the food does not need refrigerating or decanting.

Performance & Benefits

• 25% crude protein and 10% crude fat, at 353 kcal per 100g.
• Poultry meat meal at 27.5%, minimum 95% chicken, over brown rice at 37.8%.
• Naked oats and peas alongside the rice for slower-release carbohydrate.
• Glucosamine 350mg/kg with chondroitin sulphate 150mg/kg.
• MOS 500mg/kg and FOS 500mg/kg as prebiotics, plus a herb blend at 750mg/kg.
• Omega-3 at 1.26% from whole linseed.

Suitable For

• Adult dogs in moderate work — peg dogs, picking-up dogs, agility and flyball dogs.
• Trialling the recipe before buying the 15kg sack.
• Travelling, or keeping a spare bag at a second location.
• Dogs avoiding wheat, maize, barley, soya, beef and fish protein.
• Not a food for a growing dog; Field & Trial Junior 2.5kg covers six to eighteen months in the same bag size.

Feeding

• Feed dry, or moistened with a small amount of tepid water a few minutes before serving.
• 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.
• Introduce it over several days alongside the current food rather than switching in one meal.
• Give it a fortnight before judging coat and stool quality — that is roughly one 2.5kg bag for a medium dog.
• A complete food; no supplement is needed.
• Fresh drinking water at all times.
