Forthglade dog food review
Forthglade spans three formats: cold-pressed, wet and a little dry. Several recipes fold in joint-support extras like glucosamine and chondroitin. Forthglade earns our Excellent band, with Outstanding transparency on every recipe, and the British Classics and grain-free lines give a decent spread without going raw.

Forthglade: the closer look
The range
Eleven products cover 36 recipes. Most of them are cold-pressed or wet, and the dry list is smaller. The range holds British Classics, Gourmet, grain-free and brown-rice recipes, with small-dog and puppy options for every breed size.
Ingredients
Turkey and lamb lead the proteins. Several recipes add glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support, alongside seaweed, peas, carrots, linseed oil and chicory.
Nutrition
Protein as fed spans about 9% to 33% across the range, with energy of roughly 95 to 354 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Excellent or better on the wet food and Average on the cold-pressed.
Strengths
- Cold-pressed and wet in one range
- Glucosamine and chondroitin in several recipes
- Grain-free options, with Outstanding transparency
Limitations
- No raw food in the range
- The dry list is the smallest part here
- The cold-pressed recipes read a band below the wet
Where it is less of a fit
- If you want a raw diet, check the formats here, as this range is cold-pressed, wet and dry
- If you want the cold-pressed to read like the wet, check nutritional balance, which sits at Average there
- If you want a large kibble range, check the dry list, which is the smallest part here
Score overview
The Excellent band read comes from transparency, Outstanding on all 36 recipes, and from a wet range that reads Excellent or better on protein and processing and nutritional balance. The cold-pressed recipes are the softer part, a band down, with nutritional balance at Average.
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.
