Brand: Alpha Spirit

82.3/100Outstanding

Cold pressedAdultSenior

Four species and an organ meat in one cold-pressed bowl, in our Outstanding band. Every meat is fresh and named, and starch takes only 4.5% of the recipe. The appeal is breadth: the variety of a rotation diet from one bag, without the freezer.

Our view

Likely to suit

Several named species in one bowl, no monthly bag change
A dog that has never met pork, here as fresh meat and as liver
Dogs that struggle with starchy bowls
Mixed households, toy to giant and adult to senior

Worth watching

Chicken, fish, pork and duck together, so not for an exclusion trial
Whole fish second on the list, which rules out a dog kept off fish
Starch with no crop named, and an additive panel of only iron, glucosamine and taurine
