What hydrolysed protein is
Hydrolysed protein is protein broken down in advance into smaller fragments. It is easier to digest and less likely to cause a reaction in sensitive dogs. Here hydrolysed turkey makes up 5% and complements the fresh and dehydrated meat. Fully hydrolysed therapeutic diets are a separate category prescribed by a vet.
Medium & Large or Maxi
Grandorf also makes Grandorf Dog Maxi Turkey for large and giant breeds. By the stated figures the recipes are similar: 65% meat, 26% protein, 13% fat. Choose by your dog's size: Medium & Large for medium and large breeds, Maxi for large and giant ones. Kibble size is not given on the cards, so check it on the pack.
How to feed it
Choose the amount from the table on the pack based on your dog's weight and activity. Split the daily portion into two meals and watch the weight. If your dog moves little, reduce the portion. Guidance is in how much food to give a dog per day.
Switching to the new food
Mix the new food with the old one for 7–10 days, gradually increasing its share. For dogs with sensitive digestion the switch can be stretched out. Details are in how to switch your pet to a new food.
Storage
Keep the 10 kg bag closed in a cool, dry place or pour the food into a container with a lid. More in how to store dry food.
Who it suits
The food suits adult and senior dogs of medium and large breeds, dogs with sensitive digestion and dogs that cannot have chicken. It does not suit dogs allergic to turkey. Choosing a food is covered in hypoallergenic dog food, and all dry foods are in dry dog food.
Verdict
Grandorf Dog Medium & Large Turkey is a single-protein holistic food: fresh, dehydrated and hydrolysed turkey, 65% meat, 26% protein, 13% fat, prebiotics and chondroprotectors, with no chicken or wheat. The downsides are the missing full analysis, chondroprotector amounts and feeding table; dogs that react to fish should keep the salmon oil in mind.
