In detail
Concept For Life: the closer look
The range
Twelve products, all of them dry. The ranges split by breed size: large breed and medium breed each hold adult, senior, junior, light and sensitive recipes, with Labrador Retriever and Golden Retriever formulas alongside. Adult appears on 11 labels and senior on 10, with two junior recipes for puppies.
Ingredients
Poultry leads eight products, with chicken on two and lamb on the two sensitive recipes. Most labels carry chondroitin and glucosamine for joints, plus linseed and salmon oil. The Golden Retriever recipe adds taurine, and the sensitive recipes keep to linseed.
Nutrition
This is dense kibble. Protein as fed runs from 22.5% on the Medium Breed Sensitive to 31.0% on the Large Breed Junior, with energy of 336 to 402 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Good on half the range and Average on the rest.
Strengths
- Formulas matched to breed size
- Joint support extras on nine products
- Transparency reads Good on most recipes
Limitations
- Dry food only, with no wet or raw
- Protein and processing reads Average throughout
- Value reads Average on 10 products
Where it is less of a fit
- If you want wet or raw food, check the formats here, as all 12 products are dry
- If you want the pillar reads to run higher, check protein and processing, which sits at Average across the range
- If you want a wide protein choice, check the labels, since poultry leads on eight products
Score overview
The Average band read comes from protein and processing, Average on all 12 products, and from value, Average on 10 of them. Transparency is the stronger pillar at Good on most of the range. The two junior recipes reach Good overall, carried by higher protein, and the rest sit a band below.
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.
