Wet puppy food Classic Rabbit with beetroot and raspberries 800g

Wet puppy food from the Classic line, in the version with rabbit, beetroot and raspberries, is the most delicate recipe we have for a young dog. The animal protein comes solely from rabbit, and the can contains no grains, sugar, salt or artificial colourings. The whole is completed by beetroot, raspberries and salmon oil.

When to choose this wet puppy food

Rabbit-based wet puppy food usually goes to dogs with a sensitive stomach and to cases where other meats haven't worked. Rabbit is considered one of the mildest proteins in dog nutrition, and it is also a lean meat.

This means a lighter can than the lamb recipe, which you need to take into account for a puppy when measuring portions: the same energy needs a little more volume. The daily amount is chosen according to the table on the pack, and for sensitive dogs the entry easily digestible dog food also helps.

Why one protein for a young dog

For a puppy, the first months determine which ingredients its body comes into contact with. A short ingredient list makes it easier to identify the cause when something goes wrong, which is practically impossible with a food combining several meat species.

Beetroot and raspberries

Beetroot brings natural colour and a mild sweetness, raspberries a slight tartness. Both additions are present in small amounts and do not replace meat, because rabbit remains the basis of the can.

What this can doesn't contain

• Grain-free: no wheat, no maize, no gluten.
• No sugar or salt: the sweetness comes from the beetroot.
• No colourings or artificial flavourings.
• One animal protein: rabbit only.
• With salmon oil: a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Which puppy is it for

It is most often chosen by owners of sensitive young dogs and of those that eat little at a time. If your puppy tolerates everything well and needs a more filling portion, Classic Lamb JUNIOR is a better fit.

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 800 g can is for

The 800 g size makes sense for medium and large dogs and when you feed wet food only. The recipe is identical to the 400 g can, so the choice is purely about convenience and the cost per feeding day. If you are only checking whether your dog will like this flavour, start with the smaller can. Store an opened can in the fridge and serve at room temperature.
