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

Skinner's Field & Trial Junior Chicken – 2.5kg

Junior is built for the six-to-eighteen-month stretch, and the 2.5kg bag is the one for a single young dog or for testing it before a sack arrives. Poultry meat meal leads at 32.5%, the highest meat inclusion in the Field & Trial dry foods.

At 27% protein and 16% fat it is a good deal richer than any adult recipe — 384 kcal per 100g — because a dog of this age is still laying down frame as well as starting work. Prebiotic levels are set high at MOS 2,500mg/kg and FOS 1,000mg/kg.

Performance & Benefits

• Poultry meat meal at 32.5%, minimum 95% chicken.
• 27% crude protein and 16% crude fat, at 384 kcal per 100g.
• MOS 2,500mg/kg and FOS 1,000mg/kg — the growth-stage prebiotic level.
• Glucosamine 250mg/kg and chondroitin sulphate 150mg/kg for forming joints.
• Marine algae meal and whole linseed give omega-3 at 0.94%.
• Crude fibre 2% and crude ash 7%.

Suitable For

• Dogs from around six months to around eighteen months.
• Young gundogs beginning their training year.
• A single young dog, where a 2.5kg bag is finished fresh.
• Trying the recipe before committing to the 15kg sack.
• Contains maize and wheat, so it is not part of the sensitive range. A cereal-sensitive youngster wants Field & Trial Puppy Lamb & Rice 2.5kg, which runs to the same age.

Feeding

• Feed two meals a day at this age rather than one.
• 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.
• Feed dry, or moistened with a small amount of tepid water if preferred.
• Switch to an adult recipe at around eighteen months, choosing it by the work the dog is actually doing.
• Change over gradually, mixing an increasing share of the new food with the old across several days.
• Fresh drinking water at all times.
