Description
If your dog scratches through the night, chews at their paws and has already been through chicken, beef and lamb without anything changing, the issue may be that every one of those proteins is familiar to their immune system. Kangaroo is not. Prime100 SPD Air Dried Kangaroo & Pumpkin is a novel protein diet, meaning it uses a protein most dogs have never eaten, so there has been no opportunity to build a sensitivity to it.
That novelty is the entire point. Wild kangaroo is the only animal protein in the recipe, which makes it a clean starting position for a vet directed elimination trial and a sound long term diet for a dog with ongoing skin or digestive trouble linked to common proteins. It is also the leanest recipe in the air dried range at 39% protein and just 7% fat, about 350 kcal per 100g, so it suits an adult dog carrying a bit too much weight. Note the life stage: this recipe is formulated for adult and senior dogs, not puppies. Pumpkin and sweet potato supply the fibre; it is grain free and gluten free.
Air drying keeps the format flexible. It is a complete meal straight from the pack with no fridge or preparation, a topper when a dog on a restricted diet has gone off their food, and a training reward when broken into pieces. That last use matters most here, because a single stray multi protein treat can wreck weeks of elimination work, and low fat kangaroo pieces reward a dog without loading calories. Try the 120g first to confirm your dog takes to kangaroo before you buy the 2.2kg.
