Complete or Complementary
COMPLETE means the food provides all the nutrients a pet needs in the right balance.
COMPLEMENTARY, on the other hand, means that further ingredients should be added (such as eggs, veggies, liver treats etc) to balance the diet. We can advise you on this if you need help.
Working dog recipes
Working dog recipes are formulated with active or working dogs in mind. As a result, they are nutritionally complete, but generally have higher fat content than normal recipes to provide extra energy.
These recipes are still suitable for most non-working dogs, but adjustments should be made to the daily amount fed, to compensate for the high fat content (please see feeding guide page). As always, feeding guides are a good place to start, but your pet's body condition should be constantly monitored to determine the right amount of daily food required.
Working dog recipes are also free of VAT.
