In detail

Burgess: the closer look

The range

Thirteen dry products. Burgess Sensitive holds three adult recipes plus a puppy and a senior, and Supadog covers Originals, Finest, Active and the Greyhound and Lurcher recipe. Adult labels cover 11 products, with 2 puppy and 2 senior. Seven products are flagged weight management and four carry joint support.

Ingredients

Chicken leads on six products, with turkey on three, salmon on two, and lamb and beef on one each. There are no grain-free recipes here. The labels carry prebiotics, linseed, taurine and yucca, and glucosamine goes into the four joint-support recipes.

Nutrition

Protein as fed is modest for kibble, 19 to 23% on the Sensitive adult recipes and 17% on the Greyhound and Lurcher food, with the puppy recipes higher at 29 and 30%. Nutritional balance reads Poor on 7 products and protein and processing reads Average on 11, which is where the score story sits.

Strengths

  • Sensitive recipes all read Good
  • Transparency reads Good or better throughout
  • Joint support on four recipes

Limitations

  • Nutritional balance reads Poor on seven
  • Dry food only
  • One recipe reads Poor overall

Where it is less of a fit

  • If nutritional balance is your first test, check the recipe, as it reads Poor on seven products
  • If you want wet, raw or cold-pressed food, check the formats, since all 13 products are dry
  • If you want Outstanding transparency throughout, check the label, as three recipes read Outstanding and six read Good

Score overview

Transparency is the pillar holding Burgess up, Outstanding on 3 recipes and Excellent on 4. Nutritional balance is what pulls the average down, Poor on 7 products, with protein and processing Average on 11. The ranges differ: Sensitive reads Good on all five of its recipes, and the Supadog Originals recipes read Average or Poor.

The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
