Winner dog food review

Seven dry recipes make up Winner, built around chicken with beef and lamb alongside. Six of them land in our Good band. Transparency reads Good on every recipe and value reads Good on six. Nutritional balance is the softer read, Poor on four products, and that is the thing to weigh before you buy.

In detail

Winner: the closer look

The range

Seven dry products across five ranges. Winner Adult is the largest at three products, and High Energy, Puppy, Small and Senior Lite hold one each. Adult and senior labels cover six products, with one puppy recipe. Two products are flagged for weight management and one for small dogs.

Ingredients

Chicken leads on four products, with beef on two and lamb on one. Linseed is the label extra named across every range. Nothing here is flagged grain free or single protein.

Nutrition

Protein as fed is 21.0 to 23.0% on the Adult recipes and 28.0% on both High Energy and Puppy. Energy runs 328 to 336 kcal per 100g on Adult and 369 on the puppy food. Nutritional balance reads Poor on four products and protein and processing reads Average on six.

Strengths

  • Transparency reads Good on every recipe
  • Value reads Good on six products
  • Puppy and High Energy recipes reach 28.0% protein

Limitations

  • Nutritional balance reads Poor on four products
  • Dry food only, with no wet or raw
  • A small range of seven products

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want wet or raw food, check the formats here, as all seven products are dry
  • If nutritional balance matters most to you, check that pillar, which reads Poor on four products
  • If you want a wide choice of proteins, check the labels, as chicken leads on four products

Score overview

The Good band comes from transparency, Good on all seven recipes, and from value, Good on six. Protein and processing reads Average on six, which caps the brand. Nutritional balance is the weak read, Poor on four products. The one Average product sits in the Adult range, where the other two read Good.

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.
