Wet food for adult dogs Classic Duck with coconut 400g

Duck with coconut and sage is the recipe in the Classic line with the strongest poultry aroma, and it is the one to reach for with a fussy dog. The animal protein comes solely from duck, and the can contains no grains, sugar, salt or artificial colourings. It is completed by coconut, sage, salmon oil and inulin from chicory.

Why duck

Duck has a more distinct aroma than turkey or beef, and that is its main advantage: a dog that picks at its bowl and walks away is easier to win over with something that smells strongly. At the same time it is still poultry, so for most dogs it is a familiar meat.

Alongside duck muscle meat, the recipe includes offal, which naturally concentrates micronutrients. This makes it possible to round off a complete food without expanding the list of additives. If you are following a diet with a short ingredient list, take a look at the entry single-protein dog food.

Coconut and sage

Both additions are present in the recipe in small amounts. Coconut brings a mild note that goes well with poultry, and sage is a natural flavouring and the only herb in the recipe. Meat remains the basis of the can, while the additions give it its character.

What this can doesn't contain

• Grain-free: no wheat, no maize, no gluten.
• No sugar or salt: the aroma and flavour come from the meat and natural additions.
• No colourings or artificial flavourings.
• One animal protein: duck only.
• With salmon oil: a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Which dog is it for

It is most often chosen by owners of fussy eaters and of dogs that have grown bored of their usual flavour. Duck can also be a handy intermediate step if you want to move away from beef but aren't ready to go straight to game.

When you are looking for something even more delicate, the line includes Classic Rabbit. You will find the other flavours in Classic wet food.

How to introduce this food

A new food should be introduced gradually, over several days, by mixing it with the current one in an increasing proportion. This gives your dog's digestive system time to adjust, and you know whether the switch went smoothly. If your dog has so far eaten only dry food, start with a small amount of wet food on top of the portion rather than replacing the whole meal.

It is worth taking the can out of the fridge a quarter of an hour or so before serving, because at room temperature the food smells noticeably stronger, and smell is the first thing that wins a dog over. Match the daily amount to your dog's body weight according to the table on the pack and split it into two meals.

Who the 400 g can is for

The 400 g size is most often chosen by owners of small and medium dogs and by those feeding a mixed diet, where wet food makes up only part of the daily ration. It is also a sensible size for a first purchase: if your dog doesn't take to the flavour, you are left with one can, not a stockpile. Keep an opened can in the fridge and take it out a quarter of an hour or so before serving, because cold food smells noticeably weaker.
