Amazon Complete Dry: Chicken & Rice review

Name: Amazon Complete Dry: Chicken & Rice
Brand: Amazon

52.2/100Good

DryAdult

An uncomplicated own-brand kibble in our Good band, level with the typical adult dry food. Dehydrated poultry protein at 25% makes it more meat-forward than its plain presentation suggests. The bowl feeds rather better than the label reads.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

A basic poultry-and-rice kibble with the vitamins and minerals fully dosed
Smaller dogs, as the feeding guide runs up to 15kg
Dogs that clear their bowls fast. Poultry fat and hydrolysed poultry protein are there largely for taste
A prebiotic touch, from FOS and yeast-derived MOS

Worth watching

Chicken on the front, poultry in the recipe, so a dog with a specific chicken problem gets no reassurance
Maize gluten propping up the protein figure with plant protein
Glucosamine at 0.02% and chondroitin at 0.01%, a bonus and not a joint plan

The score, in context

Chicken 52.2

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Vagueness about the protein sources holds it level with the typical adult dry food, while the analysis underneath is sturdier than that suggests.

What's in it

Dehydrated poultry protein25%The concentrated form, though any farmed bird can sit under the word poultry.
Rice21%
Maize, poultry fatThe fat keeps its species loose.
Maize glutenThe least flattering entry: lifts the analysis without lifting the meat.
Fresh poultry, hydrolysed poultry protein5%
Dried peas, beet pulp, dried carrotFibre and a little vegetable matter.
Minerals, brewer's yeastB vitamins from the yeast.
Linseed0.7%Plant omega 3.
FOS, yeast cell walls, yucca schidigeraSomething for the gut flora to work with.
Glucosamine sulphate, chondroitin sulphate0.02%, 0.01%A nod towards joints.

Taurine at 1300 mg/kg for the heart, and part of the zinc as a chelate, the form generally absorbed best.

Named ingredients

Dehydrated Poultry Protein (25%), Rice (21%), Maize, Poultry Fat, Maize Gluten, Fresh Poultry (5%), Dried Peas, Hydrolysed Poultry Protein, Beet Pulp, Dried Carrot, Minerals, Brewer's Yeast, Linseed (0.7%), Fructo-oligosaccharides, Yeast Cell Walls (source of β-glucans and Mannan-oligosaccharides), Yucca Schidigera, Glucosamine Sulphate (0.02%), Chondroitin Sulphate (0.01%)

Against the range

One own-brand poultry and rice kibble. Dehydrated poultry protein leads, rice and maize carry the starch, and maize gluten tops up the protein. No bird is named anywhere on the list. The tail is more thoughtful than the base, with linseed, prebiotics and a small joint pair.
