Full details
This guide is for owners of adult dogs with sensitive stomachs, allergies, or skin issues. The key benefit is providing a highly digestible, gluten-free diet that supports gut health and the immune system, leading to improved well-being. A potential caveat is that individual dogs may still react to specific ingredients, requiring careful observation. Bosch Sensitive Lamb & Rice is a complete dry food formulated with easily digestible rice and lamb, free from gluten-containing grains like wheat and corn. It features an optimal energy concentration, an immune complex for gut and immune support, and added nutrients for joint and skin health.

FAQs
Is this food suitable for puppies?
No, Bosch Sensitive Lamb & Rice Dry Dog Food is formulated for adult dogs. Puppies have different nutritional needs and require a diet specifically designed for growth.
What does 'gluten-free' mean in this context?
It means the food does not contain wheat, barley, rye, or oats, or any derivatives or by-products of these grains, which are common sources of gluten. It uses rice and potato as primary carbohydrate sources.
How much food should I feed my dog?
Feeding amounts vary based on your dog's age, activity level, and metabolism. Refer to the feeding guidelines on the product packaging and adjust as necessary to maintain an ideal body condition. Always ensure fresh water is available.
Can I mix this with wet food?
You can mix Bosch Sensitive Lamb & Rice with compatible wet food, but ensure you adjust the total daily intake to avoid overfeeding. It is recommended to transition slowly when introducing new food combinations.
What is the purpose of the 'immune complex'?
The immune complex, containing mannans and beta-glucans, is added to help strengthen your dog's immune system and stabilize the gut flora, contributing to overall digestive health and resilience.
How long does a 15kg bag typically last?
The duration depends on your dog's daily food intake. For an average adult dog of 15kg, a 15kg bag could last approximately 6-8 weeks, but this is an estimate and will vary.
Are the animal products sourced from animals fit for human consumption?
Yes, the product information states that animal products are sourced from animals fit for human consumption, ensuring high-quality protein sources.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the new food.
Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. You can try slightly warming the food or adding a small amount of low-sodium, dog-safe broth to enhance palatability. If refusal persists, consult your veterinarian.
Digestive upset (vomiting, diarrhea) persists after transition.
While designed for sensitive stomachs, individual dogs may react differently. Revert to the previous food and consult your veterinarian for further diagnosis and recommendations.
Skin irritation or itching has not improved.
The food supports skin health, but persistent issues may indicate other underlying causes (environmental allergies, parasites, etc.). Consult your veterinarian for a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan.
Food seems dry or unappealing.
Ensure proper storage to maintain freshness. You can add a small amount of warm water to the kibble to soften it and release aromas, making it more appealing.

Storage and Care:
Store the food in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is securely sealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
