Advanced Transition Nutrition for Growing Junior Dogs

Ensure your adolescent dog transitions smoothly from early puppyhood into full physical maturity. Skinner's Field & Trial Junior Chicken is an expertly balanced, complete dry food formulated explicitly for young working dogs, sporting breeds, and active companions navigating their secondary growth phase (typically from 6 months old up to 18 months, depending on breed size). This formula creates a vital nutritional "stepping stone," matching the high energy and structural demands of adolescent development without over-accelerating growth risks.

Featuring an increased 27% protein and 16% fat profile, this highly palatable kibble utilizes clean energy from brown rice and naked oats to fuel daily training, coordination skills, and cognitive processing.

Key Benefits

The Adolescent Growth Bridge: Tailored specifically for the unique nutritional gap where standard puppy food becomes too rich, but adult maintenance food does not provide enough structural support.
Highly Digestible Lean Muscle Base: Powered by premium poultry meat meal containing a minimum of 95% chicken (accounting for 32.5% of the total recipe) for highly bioavailable amino acids.
Dual-Action Prebiotic Shield: Intensely fortified with professional-grade levels of MOS (2500mg/kg) and FOS (1000mg/kg) to nourish beneficial gut microflora, preventing loose stools during high-stress training phases.
Proactive Joint Protection: Contains early-intervention levels of Glucosamine (250mg/kg) and Chondroitin Sulphate (150mg/kg) paired with marine algae meal to cushion growing joints, tendons, and cartilage.
Skin Barrier & Cognitive Enhancement: Enriched with whole linseed and poultry fat, supplying vital Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to maintain an ultra-glossy, weather-resistant double coat and support ongoing brain development.

Feeding Guidelines

Skinner's Junior can be fed completely dry straight from the bag, or lightly splashed with lukewarm water to release natural chicken aromas. Portions should change progressively as the dog nears full adult framework metrics.
