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

Kangaroo Recipe is the reduced-energy dog BARF: kangaroo leads a mixed-protein 227 g patty (not the 115 g cat kangaroo recipe). The carton still says All Life Stages, but the manufacturer says it is less suitable as a sole diet for growing pups, pregnancy, lactation or highly active working dogs — rotate with a higher-energy flavour such as Beef or Lamb. A fit for less active adults who want a leaner red-meat bowl.

How to switch

Manufacturer transition (brand FAQ): introduce over a week or more — sensitive pets more slowly. Change one food at a time. Rotate flavours. Monitor activity, behaviour and stools; do not let the pet go more than a day or so without food. Contact a vet if digestive upset.
