Bentley's Superfood Blend: Beef review

Name: Bentley's Superfood Blend: Beef
Brand: Bentley's

78.5/100Excellent

DryAdult

Flavour

A grain-free range of seven, every one in our Excellent band, from British free range chicken to Italian buffalo. Each bag puts a 65% animal headline up front, and estimated carbohydrate stays under the dry food norm throughout. The rotating superfood blends are a garnish; the meat is the reason to buy.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do their best without grain
Owners who like a named and sourced meat, down to Scottish salmon and English duck
Gut-sensitive dogs, with the prebiotic pair dosed on every bag
Rotation feeding, since the supporting cast barely changes while the animal does
A choice of bag sizes, from 2kg up to a 2 x 12kg option

Worth watching

Not every variety is one species: the buffalo adds beef and lamb, and the turkey is backed by dried pork
The omega 3 supplement never names its source, so no land recipe can be called strictly fish free
Calcium runs high on the lamb and duck

The leader of the range, single species with the joint pack thrown in.

Every bag declares 65% animal content, built from a freshly prepared lead at 35% with dried meat behind it, plus fat and gravy or stock. The dried entries supply much of the finished protein, which runs from 27.5% declared in the lamb to 40.5% in the turkey. Sweet potato, beans and beet pulp are the plant base, and there is no cereal anywhere.

Each recipe carries a five-part dried superfood blend that changes with the species, FOS at 175 mg/kg and MOS at 50 mg/kg, and an omega 3 supplement with no source named. Only the beef and buffalo print a joint pack. Calcium varies widely between the seven.
