Product Information
Full details
This Arden Grange Dog Food - Adult Pork & Rice 2kg is designed for normally active adult dogs, offering a high-quality pork protein source that is easily digestible and ideal for dogs with sensitivities to egg and maize. Its primary benefit is providing a delicious and balanced alternative protein diet. A potential consideration is that it's formulated for normally active dogs, so very high-energy dogs might require a different formulation. Key features include a high pork content, exclusion of common allergens like egg and maize, and a rich profile of essential nutrients.
