Why Consider Grain Free Salmon & Trout for Active Dogs?

Key Benefits:

• High Fish Content: 50% total salmon & trout, including 36% freshly prepared. Provides 26% Crude Protein.
• Rich in Omega 3: Contains 3% Omega 3 fatty acids, excellent for skin, coat, and joint health support. Includes added Omega 3 supplement.

Important Suitability Advice for Working/Sporting Highly Active Dogs:

• Energy & Fat Levels: This formula is based on a standard adult dog recipe with 11% Crude Fat and 359 kcal/100g metabolizable energy.
• High Energy Needs: Working, sporting, and highly energetic dogs require significantly more energy (calories) and typically higher fat levels than standard adult dogs to fuel their activity, endurance, and recovery.
• Likely Shortfall: Due to its lower fat and energy density, this specific Salmon & Trout formula (GFI) is nutritionally unsuitable and likely inadequate for the high demands of working or sporting dogs. Feeding this food would probably not provide sufficient energy for sustained performance.
• Recommendation: Do not rely on this food for highly active dogs. Monitor your dog’s body condition very carefully if using this food for moderately active dogs and be prepared to substantially increase feeding amounts. It is strongly recommended to choose a food specifically formulated and labelled for “Working”, “Sporting”, or “Active” dogs, which will have the appropriate 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 require considerably more energy. As highlighted in the suitability advice, this food’s lower energy and fat content make it inappropriate for fuelling highly active dogs. Introduce gradually over two weeks if changing foods. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available. Please heed the suitability advice above and select a dedicated working dog food.
