Skinner's Field & Trial Muesli Mix Working Dog Food 2.5kg

Skinner's Field & Trial Muesli Mix – 2.5kg

A 2.5kg bag is the sensible way to find out whether a fussy dog will eat a muesli-style food before committing to a sack of it. The mix is the same throughout: whole-wheat biscuit and flaked cooked maize alongside cooked peas and meat-based pellets, coated in glucose syrup.

Skinner's set it at 21% protein and 9% fat, 338 kcal per 100g, for dogs at a moderate to high activity level. The small bag also works as a topper over a plain kibble when a dog has gone off its food mid-season.

Performance & Benefits

• A varied mix of biscuit, flake and pellet — the texture is the reason the food exists.
• Glucose syrup coating for palatability and a quick-release energy fraction.
• 21% crude protein, 9% crude fat and 338 kcal per 100g.
• Crude ash 10%, crude fibre 2%.
• Vitamins A, D3 and E with iron, iodine, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium.
• 2.5kg is roughly a fortnight for a medium dog, so the bag stays fresh to the last handful.

Suitable For

• Trying a muesli-style ration on a dog that turns its nose up at plain kibble.
• Adult dogs at a moderate to high activity level.
• Single-dog households that would not get through a 15kg sack before it went stale.
• Use as a palatability topper over an existing dry food.
• Contains wheat, maize, meat and bone meal and fish meal, so it is wrong for a dog on an exclusion diet — Field & Trial Chicken & Rice 2.5kg is the equivalent small bag without those.

Feeding

• Feed dry, or moisten briefly with tepid water — the flaked fraction softens within a minute or two.
• 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.
• If using it as a topper rather than the whole ration, count it against the day's total so the dog is not over-fed.
• Reseal the bag tightly; a syrup-coated food picks up moisture readily.
• Change over gradually, mixing an increasing share of the new food with the old across several days.
• Fresh drinking water at all times.
