What 32/32 means: protein and fat for working dogs
The short answerInukshuk 32/32 contains a minimum 32% protein and 32% fat, delivering 4,505 kcal/kg or about 720 kcal per cup. It's built for dogs with extreme energy demands, like racing sled dogs and hard keepers. It is not intended for household pets or puppies.

Working dogs can burn energy faster than they can physically eat it. If the food isn't dense enough, the stomach fills before the tank does. 32/32 exists to close that gap.

Fat is the fuel

Fat provides more than twice the energy per gram of protein or carbohydrate, and endurance dogs are remarkably good at burning it. Inukshuk's vacuum fat infusion lets 32% fat sit inside the kibble instead of greasing the outside.

Protein is the rebuild

Herring and chicken meals supply easily digested protein to build and maintain muscle under extreme conditions.

Palatability under stress

Racing, travel and cold can kill a dog's appetite. 32/32 is formulated to be highly palatable to encourage eating under stress.
