Yonjuro Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Was in a pet shop today and they had a special on the K9 Naturals Frozen Raw food. I bought 3kg of the "Beef Feast" which worked out to around $29 This is not the freeze dried. Upon getting home and reading the back I see the following which causes me some concern Guaranteed Analysis Min Crude Protein 11.7% Min Crude fat 24%!!!!! Min Crude Fibre 0.5% Max moisture 58% This seems to be very fatty or am I reading this wrong by comparing it to dry kibble ratios and moisture levels??? The ingredients seem to be very good and not what I would have thought to be overly fatty! I am thinking I will return it tomorrow as I don't think my 6 month old Husky needs this much fat with 2x30 min walks a day? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Podengo Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) When I fed kibble, the two kibbles I fed were 20% and 24% fat. Dogs use fat for energy... I feed K9 Natural frozen as a back up when my raw food runs out, never had a problem with it. Edit to add: Pro Plan Performance Crude Protein (Min) 30.0% Crude Fat (Min) 20.0% Crude Fiber (Max) 3.0% Moisture (Max) 12.0% Acana Sport & Agility Crude Protein (min.) 33% Crude Fat (min.) 24% Crude Fiber (max.) 4% Moisture (max.) 10% Edited April 28, 2014 by DiscoDobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Disco dobe, may I ask where you buy the Acana dry food from? Im interested in the Pacifica fish variety but can't seem to find anyone online in au that sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im interested in the Pacifica fish variety but can't seem to find anyone online in au that sell it. I'm in NZ so there are loads of places around that stock it. I don't think you can get it in AUS, it's made by the same people that make Orijen and I don't think they send food to Aussie due to the whole irradiation and killing cats thing with the Orijen food awhile back Orijen.co.nz Edited April 28, 2014 by DiscoDobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yonjuro Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 ... I ended up returning it, I think the fat is too much for a puppy limited by 30min walks due to young age and growth plates. I imagine it would be great for high energy requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
