What the manufacturer claims
The Brit Mono Protein line is built on one protein per can: this lowers the risk of allergy and makes the diet easier to control. The brand promises a high meat content and gentle processing, and therefore good taste and smell. The cans can be fed as a meal on their own or as a topper for kibble — for appetite and extra fluid. Each kilogram contains added vitamins D3 (250 IU) and E (100 mg), zinc (15 mg), iron (10 mg), manganese (3 mg), iodine (0.75 mg), copper (0.5 mg) and biotin (0.2 mg).

Pros
- A rare protein. Rabbit is less common in pet foods than chicken, beef or lamb.
- One protein source. No other meat or fish.
- Three components. Meat, broth, minerals.
- No carbohydrates. No grains or potatoes.
- High moisture. Helps dogs that drink little.
- Works as a topper. Makes dry food more appealing.
Cons and what to watch
- Organs not specified. Unlike the beef and lamb versions, the card does not say which organs are included.
- No feeding table. You will have to work out the daily amount yourself or with a vet.
- Little vitamin data. Only D3 and E are listed.
- A short diet needs supervision. Long-term feeding of a single meat is best discussed with a vet.
Why rabbit
With a food allergy, a dog reacts to a protein it has eaten before. The rarer a meat is in ordinary foods, the more likely it is new to your dog. Rabbit is one of those: it is rarely used in mass-market diets. That is why rabbit cans are handy during a trial diet, when the dog eats only one protein for 6–8 weeks and the vet checks whether the symptoms go away. Read more in hypoallergenic dog food.
How it differs from Brit Pate & Meat Rabbit
Brit also makes Pate & Meat Rabbit, but it contains other meat besides rabbit. For everyday feeding this does not matter, but for a single-protein diet only Mono Protein Rabbit fits. Read the ingredients carefully: a flavour name on the can does not always mean there is only one meat.
How to feed it
Serve the cans at room temperature. If you mix them with kibble, reduce the dry food portion so your dog does not gain weight. During a trial diet do not give treats with other meats — otherwise the result will be unclear. The article how much food to give a dog per day helps with the daily amount.
Storing an opened can
Cover the leftover food and put it in the fridge. Before the next meal let the portion warm to room temperature. Do not leave wet food in the bowl for long.
Who it suits
Brit Mono Protein Rabbit suits dogs with a suspected food allergy, especially those that have already eaten chicken, beef and lamb; dogs with sensitive digestion; and fussy eaters. It does not suit dogs allergic to rabbit. Other recipes in the line are Lamb & Rice and Turkey & Sweet Potato. All cans are in canned dog food.
Verdict
Brit Mono Protein Rabbit is a single-protein can with a rare protein: 76% rabbit, broth and minerals, 10% protein, 7% fat, with no grains, gluten or soy. A good choice for a trial diet. The downsides are the unspecified organs, no feeding amounts and a short vitamin list.
