DETAILED DESCRIPTION

What It Is

Fabled Eager to Meat is a grain-free, high-meat adult dry dog food built around a four-source poultry protein system — freshly prepared chicken as the lead ingredient, followed by dehydrated duck, dehydrated turkey, and dehydrated chicken — with hydrolysed chicken added as a fifth pre-digested protein layer for maximum digestibility. Made in Wales, United Kingdom by United Petfood and imported into India by GNV Commodities Private Limited, it is a complete daily food for adult dogs of all breeds above 12 months. The formula is designed specifically for the urban Indian dog — active, often apartment-kept, frequently fed a mixed diet of home food and commercial kibble, and in need of a reliably complete, consistently palatable commercial food that covers all nutritional bases without grain, gluten, or artificial additives.

The name is earned. Every reported behaviour from dog owners feeding Eager to Meat — bowls cleaned instantly, dogs running to the food station, previously picky eaters eating consistently — points to a palatability profile that sits well above what the price bracket typically delivers in India. Four distinct poultry proteins in one formula, with freshly prepared chicken delivering both intact protein and natural moisture that acts as a natural palatability enhancer, together produce a smell, texture, and taste that dogs respond to immediately. The formula is fully grain-free, using pea starch, sweet potato, peas, split peas, chickpeas, and lentils as a low-glycaemic carbohydrate base that fuels energy without the digestive burden of rice or wheat. Salmon oil is added as the dedicated Omega-3 source alongside linseed for Omega-6, delivering the fatty acid balance needed for skin health, coat condition, and anti-inflammatory support. Egg powder contributes complete amino acid coverage and fat-soluble vitamins. A 14-ingredient botanical and superfood blend and a proven prebiotic complex complete the formula.

Who It Is For

Eager to Meat is the right daily food for adult dogs above 12 months of all breeds and sizes who thrive on poultry protein — which, in India, means the overwhelming majority of adult dogs. It is the natural adult continuation for dogs transitioning out of Fabled Grow Little One or Fabled Gentle Giants at 12 to 18 months. It is also the right choice for any dog parent currently feeding a chicken-based commercial food who wants to stay in the poultry protein category but upgrade meaningfully in ingredient quality, formulation depth, and overall nutritional completeness without a dramatic jump in price. For the household that rotates proteins, Eager to Meat pairs directly with Happy to Sea — chicken-based meals and fish-based meals in alternation — delivering dietary variety and a broader nutritional spectrum than any single-protein diet can achieve alone.

Why It Is Better

The protein architecture of Eager to Meat is where it separates from most commercial dog foods available in India at this price point. Freshly prepared chicken — whole chicken delivered in its most nutritionally intact, moisture-rich form — leads the ingredient list. In processed kibble production, fresh meat contributes genuine palatability and a naturally occurring moisture base that concentrates into the final kibble far more effectively than dry meals or by-products alone. Dehydrated duck and dehydrated turkey then add concentrated protein density with distinct amino acid contributions that chicken alone does not fully cover — duck in particular brings naturally higher levels of iron and zinc, while turkey adds a lean, low-fat protein layer. Dehydrated chicken adds further protein concentration, and hydrolysed chicken — enzymatically pre-digested chicken — delivers amino acids in their most immediately absorbable form, reducing the digestive workload and maximising protein utilisation efficiency, particularly valuable for dogs with a history of digestive sensitivity.

Chicken fat adds a natural, highly palatable fat source that dogs instinctively seek. Salmon oil delivers EPA and DHA — the bioavailable marine Omega-3s that support coat health, skin inflammation control, and joint lubrication from within — areas where adult Indian dogs managed on rice-and-chicken home diets frequently show deficiencies over time. Linseed provides plant-sourced ALA Omega-3 as a secondary layer. Egg powder brings full amino acid completeness. Glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate at 0.01% each provide ongoing joint and cartilage maintenance support through the adult maintenance years — before joint wear becomes symptomatic, not after. The carbohydrate base — pea starch, sweet potato, peas, chickpeas, lentils — is entirely low-glycaemic and grain-free, keeping blood sugar levels steady and digestive load light throughout the day. Beet pulp, lucerne, chicory roots (inulin and FOS), MOS, and brewer’s yeast maintain a healthy, balanced gut microbiome and support consistent stool quality. Preserved only with natural Vitamin E tocopherols — no artificial preservatives, no colours, no fillers, no by-product meal padders.

When to Use It

Feed as the daily adult maintenance food for all breed dogs above 12 months. Use as a standalone complete food or rotate in alternation with Fabled Happy to Sea for protein and nutritional variety. For dogs transitioning from puppy food at 12 to 18 months, introduce over 7 to 10 days by gradually increasing the proportion of Eager to Meat while reducing the puppy formula.

KEY BENEFITS

• Four Poultry Proteins Plus Hydrolysed Chicken — All in One Bowl – Freshly prepared chicken, dehydrated duck, dehydrated turkey, dehydrated chicken, and hydrolysed chicken bring distinct amino acid profiles, diverse protein fractions, and unbeatable palatability together in a single recipe — the kind of multi-protein depth that picky eaters consistently respond to after years of single-protein kibbles.
• Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, and Low-Glycaemic – No wheat, rice, corn, soy, or gluten anywhere in the formula. Pea starch, sweet potato, chickpeas, and lentils deliver steady, digestible energy without the blood sugar spikes or chronic sensitivity triggers that grain-based carbohydrate sources cause in a meaningful proportion of Indian adult dogs fed rice-heavy diets for years.
• Salmon Oil for Skin, Coat, and Joint Health in Adult Maintenance – EPA and DHA from salmon oil directly address the most common visible health complaints in adult Indian dogs on inadequate diets — dull coat, dry or flaky skin, recurring skin inflammation, and joint stiffness. Dietary Omega-3 supplementation through food is significantly more bioavailable and consistent than intermittent capsule supplementation.
• Glucosamine and Chondroitin Through Every Adult Year – Joint wear accumulates silently across the maintenance years. Glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate at 0.01% each provide continuous structural cartilage support from year one through to senior age — turning everyday feeding into ongoing joint care.
• Full Prebiotic Gut Support System – Chicory roots (inulin and FOS), MOS, beet pulp, lucerne, and brewer’s yeast collectively maintain a healthy gut microbiome and consistent digestive function — supporting stool quality, nutrient absorption efficiency, and immune resilience as a daily baseline rather than as a supplement-dependent intervention.
• Egg Powder for Complete Amino Acid Coverage – Egg is one of the most nutritionally complete protein sources available, carrying a full essential amino acid profile and fat-soluble vitamins. Its inclusion in Eager to Meat ensures that the protein spectrum is genuinely comprehensive across every batch, regardless of seasonal variability in fresh meat composition.
• 14-Ingredient Botanical and Superfood Blend – Turmeric, spirulina, cranberries, blueberries, rosemary, ginger, broccoli, pumpkin, spinach, pomegranate, peppermint, carrots, apples, and thyme deliver antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory plant nutrition that supports heart, liver, gut, skin, and brain function — a level of formulation sophistication rarely seen in Indian mass-market adult dog foods at this price point.

FEEDING GUIDE

Serve twice daily in divided meals. Always keep fresh, clean water available at all times. Adjust daily amounts based on your dog’s weight, activity level, body condition, and whether any home-cooked food is also being fed alongside. Use the ranges below as a starting reference and monitor body condition weekly during the first month.

General Daily Amounts (approximate):

5 kg dog → 75–100g per day 10 kg dog → 130–160g per day 15 kg dog → 175–215g per day 20 kg dog → 215–265g per day 30 kg dog → 290–355g per day 40 kg dog → 360–435g per day 50 kg dog → 425–510g per day

Active or working dogs: Feed toward the upper end of the range. Indoor, less active, or older adult dogs: Feed toward the lower end. Dogs receiving home-cooked food alongside: Reduce kibble portion proportionally to avoid overfeeding.

Transition Tip: When switching from any current food to Eager to Meat, introduce gradually over 7 to 10 days — begin with approximately 25% Eager to Meat mixed into the current food and increase the proportion each day. Moistening kibble with warm water during the first few days improves palatability for dogs switching from wet or home-cooked diets.

Protein Rotation: Alternate Eager to Meat with Fabled Happy to Sea across the week for natural dietary variety — three to four days poultry, three to four days fish — providing a broader nutritional spectrum and preventing flavour fatigue in dogs who tend to lose interest in a single recipe over time.

Storage: Seal tightly after each use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Transfer to an airtight container in India’s warm, humid climate to preserve kibble freshness and prevent moisture absorption after opening.
