The middle of the range, and the middle of the shelf. Sensible.
Most dogs in South Africa are somewhere in this bracket — a spaniel, a staffie cross, whatever the shelter called a labrador. They're not managing a condition and they're not a breed with a quirk. They just need feeding properly for six years, and this is the food that does it.
Protein at 25% and fat at 14% is an unfussy everyday balance for a dog with a garden and a daily walk. Omega-3 fatty acids at 6.1 g/kg, of which 3.1 g/kg is EPA and DHA, keep skin and coat in condition — this is the range's highest total omega-3 outside the senior foods. Manno-oligo-saccharides support the gut. Kibble is sized for a medium jaw, which sounds obvious until you've watched a spaniel try to eat something designed for a Chihuahua. For dogs from one to seven years, 11–25 kg.
Dehydrated poultry protein, maize, maize flour, wheat flour, animal fats, wheat, hydrolysed animal proteins, beet pulp, fish oil, soya oil, yeasts and parts thereof, minerals, hydrolysed yeast (source of manno-oligo-saccharides (0.05%)). Additives (per kg) — Nutritional additives: Vitamin A 12,500 IU · Vitamin D3 800 IU · E1 (Iron) 40 mg · E2 (Iodine) 4 mg · E4 (Copper) 12 mg · E5 (Manganese) 52 mg · E6 (Zinc) 126 mg · E8 (Selenium) 0.1 mg. Preservatives. Antioxidants.
Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening; decant the 15 kg rather than leaving the bag open, or the fat oxidises and she'll go off it. Feel her ribs monthly — you want to find them easily under a thin covering. Don't feed her immediately before or after hard exercise. Fresh water, always.

A guide, not a rule. A dog with a garden and a daily walk is Normal. Split across two meals — one large meal a day raises the risk of bloat in a deep-chested dog. Fresh water, always.
