Skinners Field & Trial Salmon & Rice 15kg

Skinner's Field & Trial Salmon & Rice – 15kg

Fifteen kilos is the size for a household that has already settled on salmon and knows the coat responds to it. Omega-3 sits at 1.55% here, the highest of the rice recipes, drawn from salmon meal at 26% and whole linseed, over brown rice at 40.3%.

Skinner's rate it across the full activity range rather than for one intensity, at 25% protein and 12% fat and 358 kcal per 100g. It is the sensitive-range recipe with no poultry protein and no red meat in the meat fraction at all.

Performance & Benefits

• Salmon meal at 26% as the single meat protein.
• Omega-3 at 1.55% — the highest figure in the rice-based range.
• Brown rice 40.3% with naked oats and peas behind it.
• 25% crude protein and 12% crude fat, at 358 kcal per 100g.
• Vegetable oil rather than poultry fat supplies the added fat.
• Glucosamine 350mg/kg, chondroitin sulphate 150mg/kg, MOS 500mg/kg and FOS 500mg/kg.

Suitable For

• Adult dogs working at any level, from full days to weekly training.
• Dogs whose skin and coat have not settled on a poultry or red meat diet.
• Multi-dog households, where 15kg is the economical unit.
• Dogs avoiding wheat, maize and barley.
• Not the right food for a dog that must avoid fish — Field & Trial Lamb & Rice 15kg is the alternative without poultry or fish protein.

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.
• Do not add a separate fish oil; omega-3 is already at 1.55% in the food.
• Allow six to eight weeks on it before judging the coat.
• Change over gradually, mixing an increasing share of the new food with the old across several days.
• Fresh drinking water at all times.
