🥩 Is the lamb in this recipe suitable for dogs? And is lamb good for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
This recipe uses high-quality British lamb, including nutrient-rich cuts like shoulder and heart, which are excellent sources of protein, iron, and essential vitamins for dogs.
As with any change in your dog’s diet, and especially so if you know they have a sensitive stomach, introduce the food to them gradually and give them small portion to begin with to ensure they handle the lamb (and other ingredients) in this meal okay.
