Available in three tasty flavours
Petsmill Premium Adult is available in three tasty flavours:
- • Chicken and Rice
- • Duck and Potato
- • Salmon with Potato
Each of the flavours has been specially developed for adult dogs, but with slightly different nutrient compositions.
Protein: The chicken and rice option has a protein content of 24%, which is slightly lower than that for the duck and potato (26%), whereas salmon with potato has a protein content of 22%. Some dogs can be allergic to meat, so the salmon flavour provides a great option for those requiring a fish diet.
Protein contains “essential amino acids”, which must be provided in the diet as dogs cannot produce these themselves. Proteins also play vital roles in hormones, enzymes and the immune system, as well as for providing energy.
Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates provide energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which all cells need. Requirements for this energy will be higher in young dogs and active adult dogs. The metabolisable energy of the chicken and rice flavour is 348kcal per 100g, duck and potato is 350kcal per 100g, and salmon with potato is 353kcal per 100g.
The chicken and rice flavour includes white rice rather than brown as it is more digestible and contains less fat (due to the removal of the bran layer). The duck and potato and salmon with potato options, however, provide an alternative for dogs who have an intolerance to rice.
Vitamins: All flavours of our adult dog food range contain vitamin A for healthy vision, growth and immune system, and vitamin D3, which is vital for maintaining calcium and phosphorous levels in the body for bone health.
Minerals: Detailed on our packaging is the level of ‘crude ash’ found in our adult dog food. This ash is a measurement of the amount of minerals in the product. The mineral content is fairly similar across our adult dog food range, with levels between 5.5% and 8%. Each flavour has a different mixture of iron, zinc, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium – all of which have vital roles in the body, such as red blood cell formation, enzymes, hormones, tissues and the immune system.
Fat/oil: The chicken and rice flavour food contains 8% oils and fats, whereas salmon with potato has 10% and duck and potato has 11%. These slightly higher values can benefit your dog by giving them more energy and a shinier coat.
Both fats and oils provide the body with essential fatty acids, which the body cannot naturally produce, ensuring a healthy coat and skin. Similarly, they act as electron and substrate carriers, as well as making up the outer layer of cells.
Choosing the right kibble
The kibble sizes of Petsmill Premium Adult Dog vary according to flavour. The chicken and rice option is a familiar cube shape, but slightly larger than our puppy food. The duck and potato kibble is also a cube shape, though of slightly different proportions, whereas the salmon with potato flavour has a wider, flatter kibble. You may therefore find that your dog prefers the feel of one kibble over the other.
