Carnilove Active Venison, Reindeer & Wild Boar Grain-Free Dry Dog Food 1.5kg

Carnilove ACTIVE Venison, Reindeer & Wild Boar Grain-Free Dry Dog Food – 1.5kg

Three northern game meats in one bag: 26% fresh venison, 14% reindeer protein and 4% wild boar protein. Reindeer in particular is a protein almost no dog in Britain will have encountered, which is what makes this recipe useful when the usual novel proteins have already been tried and failed.

It is also the highest-energy food Carnilove make for dogs — 20.0% fat and 4,000 kcal/kg — so it is built for a dog that is actually working. The 1.5kg bag is the size to buy while you find out whether your dog suits that much fat.

Care & Caution

• At 20.0% fat and 4,000 kcal/kg this is the richest food in the Carnilove ACTIVE dog range. Fed at maintenance amounts to a dog that is not working, it will put weight on.
• Not a sensible choice for a dog with a history of pancreatitis or fat intolerance — talk to your vet first.
• Step up to it gradually. Going straight from a 14–16% fat food to a 20% fat one commonly causes loose motions for a few days.
