Skinner's dog food review
Skinner's is a working-dog brand at heart. Most of the catalogue is dry, 22 products of the 29, and poultry is the leading protein by some way. The brand average sits in our Good band, held there by protein and processing at Average on 16 products. The seven wet recipes are the strong part, and every one of them reads Excellent or Outstanding.

In detail
Skinner's: the closer look
The range
Twenty nine products, 22 dry and 7 wet. Field and Trial is the backbone, with an Adult range of five, a grain-free pair, puppy and junior kibbles and the Working 23, 26 and 30 recipes. Get Out and Go adds energy kibble and wet food. Adult labels cover 22 products, puppy 7 and senior 1.
Ingredients
Poultry leads on 14 products, with chicken, lamb, salmon, duck and turkey behind it. Eight recipes are single protein and 13 are grain free. Joint support is the pattern on the labels, 19 products deep, with glucosamine, chondroitin, linseed, taurine and yucca recurring, plus MSM on the Light and Senior kibble.
Nutrition
Kibble protein as fed runs about 18.0% to 30.0%, with energy of roughly 338 to 393 kcal per 100g. The wet food sits near 9.0% to 12.0% protein. Nutritional balance reads Average on ten products and Poor on six, and protein and processing reads Average on 16.
Strengths
- Wet food reads Excellent or Outstanding
- Joint support on 19 products
- Outstanding transparency on 15 recipes
Limitations
- Protein and processing Average on 16
- Nine products read our Average band
- One product names the senior stage
Where it is less of a fit
- If you feed a senior dog, check the labels, since one product names that stage
- If protein and processing is your first test, check it range by range, as it reads Average on 16 products
- If you want a grain-free diet throughout, check each label, since 13 of the 29 carry that flag
Score overview
The Good band read is a split. Wet food carries the top end, five products Outstanding and two Excellent, while the dry ranges read Good or Average. Protein and processing is the pillar that holds the kibble back, Average on 16 recipes and Poor on six. Transparency is Outstanding on 15 products, and value reads Good on 13.
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.
