45.5/100Average

DryAdult

Plain, honest fuel for dogs that work, sitting in our Average band. Chicken meal at 22% is the protein anchor and energy runs to 375 kcal per 100g. Wheat leads the list, and that is most of what keeps the score where it is.

Our view

Likely to suit

Working and sporting dogs, at 375 kcal per 100g with protein at 27%
Kennels and multi-dog homes buying in a 14kg bag
Dogs that do well on chicken, the one meat named
Farm homes wanting a no-frills kibble that still carries a prebiotic

Worth watching

Wheat first, for any dog with a grain intolerance
Dried animal protein and animal fats with no species, so no use for strict elimination feeding
Portions on a quieter dog, since this is fuel for active ones

The score, in context

Beta Working 45.5

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The wheat-first build and the unnamed animal entries hold the total down, while the pillars themselves read steadier than the band.
