Top Food For Top Performance

It can be hard to know which working dog food to choose during the shooting season, so our Nutritional Team have highlighted the key benefits and top tips for the following three diets, as well as which breeds they are suitable for.

Skinner’s Working 23

Field & Trial Working 23 is a complete dog food, specially developed and formulated to support dogs with a moderate to high activity level. 

With a protein level of 23% and a fat level of 10%, Working 23 supports the day-to-day energetic requirements for working and active dogs of all breeds and is a favourite with many working dog handlers. 

With a balance of digestible carbohydrates, Working 23 provides a diet to support those animals needing a nutritious fuel to support moderate to high activity levels such as working gundogs, agility dogs or active pets.

Top Tip for feeding Working 23

Ideally, split your dog’s daily ration of Working 23 into a minimum of two meals. This improves the overall digestibility of the food, meaning your dog may gain more nutritional benefit from their meals. 

This can also have an impact on the frequency and quality of your dog’s stools; improved digestibility typically means less frequent defecation and improved stool quality!
