Why Consider Grain Free Duck for Active Dogs?

This recipe provides lean, nutrient-dense duck protein and essential nutrients.

Key Benefits for Your Energetic Dog:

• High Duck Content: 50% total duck, including minimum 26% freshly prepared duck. Provides 26% Crude Protein. Duck is a lean, nutrient-dense source of protein, iron, selenium, and B vitamins.
• Energy Support: Contains 360 kcal/100g metabolizable energy and 14% Crude Fat. Sweet potato provides complex carbohydrates. (See Suitability Advice below).
• Digestive Health: Contains pre-biotics MOS & FOS which may help promote healthy gut bacteria and aid digestion.
• Skin & Coat: Added Omega 3 supplement helps support healthy skin and coat.
• Immune Support: Orange provides Vitamin C.
• Natural & Grain-Free: No added artificial colours or preservatives.

Important Suitability Advice for Working/Sporting Dogs:

• Energy & Fat Levels: This formula is based on a standard adult dog recipe with 14% Crude Fat and 360 kcal/100g metabolizable energy.
• High Energy Needs: Working, sporting, and highly energetic dogs typically require significantly more energy (calories) and often higher fat levels than standard adult dogs to fuel their activity, endurance, and recovery.
• Potential Shortfall: While nutritious, the energy and fat levels in this specific Duck formula (GFJ) are moderate and may be insufficient for dogs undergoing very high levels of strenuous or prolonged exercise. It might be suitable for moderately active dogs, but perhaps not those working intensely.
• Recommendation: Monitor your active dog’s body condition very carefully if using this food. Be prepared to significantly increase feeding amounts compared to the standard guide (see below). For peak performance and optimal fueling, consider choosing a food specifically formulated and labelled for “Working”, “Sporting”, or “Active” dogs, which will have higher fat and energy density tailored to their needs. Consult the manufacturer or a canine nutritionist if unsure.

Feeding Guide for Active Dogs

(Standard feeding guide data from table)

Important Note: The standard feeding guide above is for typical adult dogs. Working and sporting dogs often require considerably more energy. Adjust feeding amounts based on individual needs, activity level, exercise intensity, metabolism, and environmental conditions. Monitor your dog’s body condition carefully and adjust portions accordingly. Introduce gradually over two weeks when changing foods. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available. Consult the suitability advice above regarding energy levels.

Kibble Size:

Optimal kibble size and shape for adult dogs (approx. 14mm wide, 5mm high).

This product has an 18-month shelf life. This 15kg bag of Grain Free Duck provides a good quality base diet, but careful consideration of energy needs and potential selection of a dedicated working dog food is advised for highly active dogs.
