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.

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want wet or raw food, check the formats, as all 18 products are dry

  • If you want grain in the bowl, check the Premium recipes, as 13 of the 18 are grain free
