Wet food for adult dogs Classic Rabbit with swede 400g

Rabbit with swede, strawberry and rosemary is the most delicate recipe in the whole Classic line. The animal protein comes solely from rabbit, and the can contains no grains, sugar, salt or artificial colourings. The whole is completed by swede, strawberry, rosemary, salmon oil and inulin from chicory.

Why rabbit

Rabbit is considered one of the mildest meats in dog nutrition, which is why it usually ends up where other species have failed. It is also a lean meat, so the can is lighter than the beef or lamb recipes.

Alongside muscle meat, the recipe includes offal, which naturally concentrates micronutrients. If you are following a diet with a short ingredient list, the entry single-protein dog food will come in handy, and for sensitive dogs also easily digestible food.

Swede, strawberry and rosemary

Swede is a root vegetable rarely found in dog foods, strawberry brings a gentle sweetness, and rosemary is responsible for the aroma and is the only herb in the recipe. All three are present in small amounts and do not replace meat.

What this can doesn't contain

• Grain-free: no wheat, no maize, no gluten.
• No sugar or salt: the sweetness comes from the strawberry.
• No colourings or artificial flavourings.
• One animal protein: rabbit 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 sensitive dogs and of those whose ingredient list is being kept to a minimum. It is also a good recipe for a dog that eats little at a time, because it is light.

If you are looking for rabbit in a version for a young dog, the line includes Classic Rabbit JUNIOR. The full overview of flavours is 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.
