Skinners Working 23 Dry Dog Food 2.5kg – Balanced Nutrition for Active & Working Dogs

Skinner's Field & Trial Working 23 – 2.5kg

The mid-range working food: 23% protein and 10% fat, for a dog in regular work without the energy demands that call for Working 30. Wheat leads the composition, with maize, naked oats, prairie meal and rice behind it.

The 2.5kg bag suits one dog or a short trial. This is a cereal-based food, so it is not the one for a dog with a wheat sensitivity.

Performance & Benefits

• Crude protein 23% and crude fat 10%, at 343 kcal per 100g.
• A blend of wheat, maize, naked oats, prairie meal and rice for steady carbohydrate.
• Vitamin A at 17,500 IU per kg — among the highest in the Field & Trial dry range.
• Copper 7mg, manganese 50mg and zinc 90mg per kg.
• Wheatbran adds fibre to the mix.
• 2.5kg bag, practical for one dog or for trying the food before buying a sack.

Suitable For

• Working gundogs, herding dogs and agility dogs at moderate to high intensity.
• Active pet dogs getting real daily exercise.
• Households wanting a cereal-based food at a working protein level.
• Not for a dog sensitive to wheat or maize — both are in the recipe; Skinner's Field & Trial Turkey & Rice is the rice-based alternative.
• A dog working long, hard days needs more than 23% protein; Skinner's Field & Trial Working 30 is the step up.

Feeding

• Feed straight from the bag, or moisten a few minutes before serving with a little tepid water.
• Skinner's publish their daily amounts on the pack and through an interactive feeding guide on their own website rather than as a printed table, so none are quoted here.
• Adjust the amount to the dog's weight, condition and workload, and reduce it out of season.
• Introduce gradually over about a week when changing foods.
• Fresh drinking water available at all times.
• Sold VAT free under the working dog food classification — a tax treatment, not a statement about the recipe or about which dogs it suits.
