Bob & Lush Adult Kibble review

Name: Bob & Lush Adult Kibble
Brand: Bob & Lush

59/100Good

DryAdult

A single-protein duck kibble where even the fat and the stock stay on species. Fresh duck is 55% of the mix, and potato and peas stand in for grain. The additive panel is fuller than most, with taurine and L-carnitine at declared doses.

Our view

Likely to suit

Elimination or single-protein plans: duck is the only animal on the list
Dogs kept off grain, potato at 24% binding with 10% peas
Owners who want every extra named, taurine for the heart and FOS and MOS for the gut
Fish-avoiding households

Worth watching

Protein at 27.2% of dry matter is solid without being spectacular, as fresh duck brings water into the oven
Ash at 10.9% of dry matter, on the higher side for whole fresh meat with its bone

The score, in context

Bob & Lush Adult Kibble 59.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The label does more of the talking than the analysis, with a large declared meat share and carbohydrate under the typical figure.

What's in it

Fresh duck55%The only animal on the list. Fresh, so much of it is water cooked off.
Potatoes24%The starch, with no grain anywhere.
Peas10%
Duck fat3%Even the fat stays on species, which matters on an exclusion plan.
Duck stock2%
Brewer's yeast, beet pulp1% eachB vitamins from the yeast.
Linseed1%Plant omega 3, keeping it fish free.
Sunflower oil0.6%
Minerals, vitamins, yucca schidigera extract0.3% yucca
FOS, MOS0.1% eachFeed the gut's friendly bacteria.

Taurine for the heart and L-carnitine at 500 mg per kilo, with zinc, copper and iron in chelated forms beside the sulphates.

Named ingredients

Fresh Duck (55%), Potatoes (24%), Peas (10%), Duck Fat (3%), Duck Stock (2%), Brewer's Yeast (1%), Beet Pulp (1%), Linseed (1%), Sunflower Oil (0.6%), Minerals, Vitamins, Yucca Schidigera Extract (0.3%), FOS (0.1%), MOS (0.1%).

Against the range

One grain-free recipe that keeps the whole animal side to duck: fresh duck, duck fat and duck stock. Potato and peas do the binding, and the only other oils are linseed and sunflower, so there is no fish anywhere on the label.
