Name: Bakers Edward Baker Adult
Brand: Bakers

49.1/100Average

DryAdult

The plainer, more traditional corner of the Bakers stable, carrying the founder's name and finishing in our Average band. Turkey meal at 26% is the best thing on the label: already dried, so its share is real protein. Wheat, corn and soya fill most of what follows.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that get on with turkey, a lean and digestible meat
The main meat named and measured, at 26% on the front of the list
Mixed-size homes. The feeding guide runs from toys to 70kg giants
A settled routine on the same straightforward bowl

Worth watching

Wheat and soya both feature prominently, the two plant ingredients most often linked to intolerance
Animal fats and digest name no species, which undoes the turkey headline for elimination feeding
Wheat middlings, a flour milling by-product

The score, in context

Bakers Edward Baker Adult 49.1

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Closer to the band above than the word Average suggests, with a real named protein held back by the cereals and unnamed fats behind it.

Dried Carrot, Dried Spinach, Dried Parsley0.07% eachThere for the label more than the dog.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with conventional sulphate minerals and selenium as sodium selenite, not the chelated forms more careful recipes use.
