Different Dog: the closer look
The range
Fourteen products, every one of them fresh. The main Different Dog range holds nine recipes on chicken, lamb, salmon and beef. Five Health+ recipes sit alongside it: a trim turkey, a beef and berries, a comforting chicken, a fish supper and a low purine and phosphorus turkey. All 14 labels cover adult dogs.
Ingredients
Chicken and turkey lead on three products each, with beef and lamb on two each and salmon and pork on one. All the recipes are flagged grain free, and nine keep to a single protein. Salmon oil runs through the labels, and one recipe adds glucosamine for joints.
Nutrition
Protein as fed spans 10.1% to 16.0%, with fat of 2.5% to 13.8% and energy of 99 to 192 kcal per 100g, read on the wet weight of fresh food. Nutritional balance and protein and processing are both Outstanding on all 14 recipes.
Strengths
- Outstanding on all four pillars
- Grain free across all 14 recipes
- Health+ recipes for particular needs
Limitations
- All fresh, so no dry or wet
- Joint extras on one recipe
- Salmon and pork appear once each
Where it is less of a fit
- If you need dry or wet food, check the formats here: all 14 products are fresh
- If you want joint extras, check the labels, since one recipe carries glucosamine
- If you are feeding a senior or a puppy, check the labels: 12 of the 14 cover those stages
Score overview
There is nothing to split here. Protein and processing, nutritional balance, transparency and value all read Outstanding on all 14 recipes, so every product lands in our Outstanding band and so does the brand average. The Health+ recipes read the same band as the main range.
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.
