BIG DOG Standard Range Frozen Raw Dog Food - Chicken 3kg

Chicken is the palatable Core starting flavour — the one the manufacturer flags as suitable for puppies and easy to love. RSPCA-approved chicken leads, then Australian beef and Tasmanian salmon, so you get mixed-protein variety without switching bags every night. Choose it over Beef when poultry should come first in the bowl, or over Goat and Turkey when you do not need a single-protein diet.
