Canine Choice: the closer look

The range

Eighteen dry products and no other format. Adult labels cover 15, with three puppy and three senior. The Adult range splits by breed size into small, medium and large, and the Premium line runs adult, puppy and senior. Senior Light adds a weight management option.

Ingredients

Chicken leads on eight products, with lamb on six and salmon on three. Every recipe is single protein and 13 are grain free. Labels add glucosamine and chondroitin for joints, probiotics and yucca on the breed-size kibble, and linseed, prebiotics and salmon oil on the Premium recipes.

Nutrition

Protein as fed runs about 23.5% to 32% and fat 9.5% to 21%, with energy from 324 to 405 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance holds the softer part of the story, Good on nine products and Average on seven, while protein and processing reads Good on 16.

Strengths

  • Single protein on every recipe
  • Outstanding transparency across the range
  • Breed sizes from small to large

Limitations

  • Kibble across the board, with neither wet nor raw
  • Nutritional balance reads Average on seven products
  • The Premium line reads a band below

Where it is less of a fit

  • If wet or raw is better for your dog, check the formats, as all 18 products are dry
  • If nutritional balance matters most, check that pillar, since it reads Average on seven products and Poor on one
  • If grain in the bowl is what you need, check the Premium recipes, as 13 of the 18 are grain free

Score overview

Transparency is Outstanding on all 18 products and value reads Excellent on 10, which is what lifts the brand. Nutritional balance keeps it in our Good band, Average on seven recipes and Poor on one. The breed-size Adult ranges read Excellent throughout, and the Premium line sits a band below at Good.
