In food-energetics terms
In food-energetics terms, lamb is classified as "hot." It is said to have an especially strong warming effect and is often chosen in cold seasons. For dogs that overheat easily, keeping it modest is the safer choice.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
