Duck sits at the milder end of the meats used in dog food, which is part of why it turns up so often on a "sensitive tummy" recipe — it's less likely to be something a dog has already reacted to elsewhere in their diet.

Forthglade's Just Grain Free Duck is 90% duck with minerals, gently steamed to help retain nutrients, and grain free by not adding any grains to the recipe. The analysis is crude protein 11%, crude fibres 0.2%, crude oils and fats 10% and crude ash 3.5%, with moisture at 75%. It's a complementary food for dogs from 2 months, meant to be added to a mixer biscuit or used as a topper with dry food, and can be mixed with fibre-filled vegetables and carbohydrates.

On feeding it alone. This is a complementary food, not a complete one — Forthglade's own guidance is to add it to a mixer biscuit or use it as a topper, or mix it with vegetables and carbohydrates, rather than feeding the tray by itself as the whole meal. Their feeding guide runs from a quarter of a tray a day for a small dog up to 2 trays for an extra-large dog.

Who it's for: owners feeding a mixer-and-topper routine who want a mild, grain-free meat to add, and puppies from 2 months being introduced to wet food alongside a mixer.
