Important Suitability Advice for Working/Sporting Dogs:
- Energy & Fat Levels: This formula is based on a standard adult dog recipe with 10% Crude Fat and 352 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 Tuna formula (GTA) may be insufficient to fully meet the demands of very active dogs undergoing strenuous or prolonged exercise. Relying solely on this food might not provide optimal fuel.
- 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) or, ideally, choose a food specifically formulated 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.

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.
