In detail
Gelert: the closer look
The range
Thirteen products spread over several ranges. Eight are dry and five are wet. Country Choice covers adults and puppies with maintenance and grain-free recipes plus a performance one. The tinned food splits into working dog, sporting dog, tripe and puppy varieties. Adult labels dominate, with three puppy foods and two marked for seniors.
Ingredients
Chicken leads seven products, with lamb and tripe on two each and white fish and turkey on one apiece. Glucosamine and chondroitin go into the dry recipes flagged for joint support, alongside yucca, linseed and a prebiotic. Two recipes are grain free.
Nutrition
Protein as fed runs from about 8% on the tins to 32% on the performance puppy kibble, with energy of 88 to 386 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance is Outstanding on five products and Average on five, and protein and processing splits evenly between Good and Average.
Strengths
- Outstanding transparency on eight products
- Joint support extras on eight recipes
- Dry kibble and wet tins together
Limitations
- Nutritional balance Average on five products
- No raw or cold-pressed food, and nothing fresh
- Chicken leads most of the catalogue
Where it is less of a fit
- If cold-pressed or raw is what you want, check the formats here, as this range is dry and wet
- If you want every recipe in the same band, check the three that read Average, since the rest of the catalogue reads Good
- If you want a broad protein choice, check the labels, as chicken leads seven of the thirteen products
Score overview
Transparency carries the Good band read, Outstanding on eight products, and value is Good on ten. The drag comes from nutritional balance, Average or lower on six recipes, and from protein and processing, which reads Poor on one. The tinned puppy food and the working dog tripe mix read Average, and one of the three maintenance recipes does too.
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.
