Dr.B's BARF Dog Frozen Food - Combo 2.72kg (12 x 227g)

Combo is the multi-protein, moderate-energy BARF (14% protein, 10% fat) — lower fat than Beef or Lamb, with chicken, lamb, beef and pork in one patty. The manufacturer positions it for large-breed pups and less active dogs. Use it when you want mixed meats and a lighter energy density than Beef, without stepping down to Kangaroo or Lite.
