Product description
Just like their ancestors in the wild, our dogs are carnivores, so this food has been created to meet natural nutritional needs.

An incredible 94% of this protein comes from pork and poultry that is suitable for human consumption, providing a valuable amino acid profile and encouraging strong, lean muscles. Chondroitin sulphate promotes healthy joints in overweight dogs, whilst a range of functional ingredients provide additional health benefits and support maximum wellbeing.
