Run dog food review

Run is a cold-pressed brand and nothing else. Five products, split between a main line and a working dog line, put the brand average in our Good band. Every recipe carries joint-support extras. Protein and processing reads Good on all five, so format comes first here: this suits a dog moving off kibble.

In detail

Run: the closer look

The range

Five products across two lines. The larger line holds three cold-pressed recipes on sea fish and chicken, covering adults with a puppy option. The working dog line is two recipes on beef and turkey, both adult and both flagged high energy.

Ingredients

Sea fish leads on two products, with chicken, beef and turkey on one each. Four recipes are flagged grain free and one single protein. Every label carries glucosamine and chondroitin, with prebiotics and yucca alongside them.

Nutrition

Protein as fed runs 24.0 to 29.0% with fat from 11.0 to 14.0%, and energy sits between 316 and 357 kcal per 100g. Protein and processing reads Good on all five products, and nutritional balance is Good on three and Average on two.

Strengths

  • Joint-support extras on every recipe
  • Outstanding or Excellent transparency throughout
  • A working dog line flagged high energy

Limitations

  • Cold-pressed only, no wet or raw
  • Nutritional balance reads Average on two
  • A small range of five products

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want wet or raw food, check the formats here, as all five products are cold-pressed
  • If you want nutritional balance above Good, check that pillar, since two of the five read Average
  • If you want a wide protein choice, check the labels, as the range covers sea fish, chicken, beef and turkey

Score overview

The Good band read comes from a flat set of pillars. Transparency is Outstanding on three products and Excellent on two, and value reads Excellent on three. Protein and processing sits at Good across the board. Nutritional balance drops to Average on two, and it is the pillar with the widest spread here.

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.
