FAQs

Is this food suitable for puppies?

No, Skinner's Field and Trial Salmon and Rice is specifically formulated for adult working dogs. Puppies have different nutritional requirements for growth.

How long does a 2.5kg bag last?

This depends entirely on your dog's weight and activity level. For example, a 20kg dog consuming 250-350g per day would use a 2.5kg bag in approximately 7-10 days.

Can this food help with my dog's allergies?

Yes, its hypoallergenic formulation with carefully selected ingredients like salmon and rice is designed to minimize common allergens and support dogs with sensitivities.

What are the benefits of salmon in dog food?

Salmon is an excellent source of highly digestible protein and is rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, which are crucial for maintaining healthy skin and a shiny coat.

My dog isn't a working dog, but is very active. Can they eat this?

Yes, it's suitable for any active adult dog with moderate energy requirements, not just traditional 'working' breeds. Examples include agility dogs or very active pet dogs.

What are glucosamine and chondroitin for?

Glucosamine and chondroitin are natural compounds that help maintain the health and elasticity of cartilage in joints, supporting overall joint function and mobility.

Is there a larger size available for this product?

Yes, Skinner's Field and Trial Salmon and Rice is also available in larger bag sizes, such as 15kg, for long-term feeding or multiple dogs. Info needed: [Check product listings for specific available sizes.]

Troubleshooting

My dog is reluctant to eat the new food.

Ensure you are transitioning gradually. If the issue persists, try moistening the kibble with warm water or a small amount of plain broth. Rule out underlying health issues by consulting your vet if your dog completely refuses to eat.

My dog has loose stools or digestive upset after switching.

This often indicates too rapid a transition. Revert to an earlier stage of the transition where your dog had no issues, and slow down the process, taking up to two weeks or more if needed. Ensure accurate portion sizes to avoid overfeeding.

My dog's skin or coat issues haven't improved.

While many dogs benefit quickly, it can take several weeks for significant improvements to appear. Ensure consistent feeding without other treats that might trigger sensitivities. If issues persist, consult your veterinarian to rule out other causes or discuss alternative dietary needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Feeding Guidelines

Transitioning your dog to Skinner's Field and Trial Salmon and Rice should be done gradually over 7-10 days to avoid digestive upset. Start by mixing a small amount of the new food with their current food, gradually increasing the proportion of Skinner's over the week.

Always provide fresh, clean drinking water. The feeding amount will vary based on your dog's weight, age, activity level, and metabolism. Consult the feeding guide printed on the product packaging for specific daily recommendations. A general guideline for an adult working dog of moderate activity:

| Dog Weight (kg) | Daily Amount (g) |

| :-------------- | :--------------- |

| 10 | 150-200 |

| 20 | 250-350 |

| 30 | 350-450 |

| 40+ | 450+ |

*Note: These are general guidelines; always refer to the package for precise instructions.*

Compatibility

This food is formulated for adult working dogs (from approximately 12 months of age) with moderate activity levels. It is particularly suitable for dogs prone to sensitivities or allergies, thanks to its hypoallergenic, fish-based recipe. It is not recommended for puppies or senior dogs unless specifically advised by a veterinary professional.

Storage & Care

To maintain freshness and nutritional integrity, store Skinner's Field and Trial Salmon and Rice in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly after each use, or transfer the food to an airtight container. Proper storage helps prevent spoilage and keeps the food palatable for your dog.
