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

Lamb Recipe is the high-energy all-rounder — small-breed pups, active adults and lactating females on the manufacturer’s positioning. The ingredient list still starts with chicken, then lamb, beef and pork. Pick it when you want lamb as the named flavour with Beef-like energy, not the moderate Combo or reduced Kangaroo.
