Yes they are. A complete dog food needs to meet the guidelines stipulated by the European Pet Food Industry (Fediaf) by including all the essential nutrients that a dog needs. By being complete, no supplementary foods are required in your dog’s diet.

Monty’s Larder complete meals have been vet approved in line with canine nutrition best practice and meet Fediaf guidelines.

Whilst most dogs will switch to a new diet easily, you may want to take a few days to adjust to the new flavours and ingredients to reduce any risk of any tummy upsets. So you may want to build it up gently by adding (a few sponfulls to start off with) your Monty’s Larder meal to their normal food over, say, 7 to 10 days.
