Bonacibo Adult Dog: Lamb & Rice review

Name: Bonacibo Adult Dog: Lamb & Rice
Brand: Bonacibo

62.8/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

A chicken and rice family that does more than its shelf position suggests, with all four recipes in our Good band. Glucosamine and chondroitin are dosed on every label and the vitamins are itemised down to biotin. There is a version for a quiet dog, a working one and a dog that eats lamb.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs of any build and pace. There is a standard recipe, a lighter Form, a High Energy and a lamb option
Ageing joints, with glucosamine and chondroitin dosed in print on every variety
Dogs that like fish, as anchovy meal and oil run through the range
Owners who want a fully itemised vitamin panel on a complete chicken and rice kibble

Worth watching

Anchovy in all four, so none suits a fish-avoiding dog
Refined chicken oil in the Lamb & Rice, which matters if chicken is what you are avoiding
Maize in every recipe, for a dog with a known grain issue

Refined chicken oil is on the label, so this is not a chicken-free food.

Against the range

Meat: Lamb 24%, hydrolysed lamb 17%; Chicken on the other three.
Chicken liver: Not on this label; On the other three.
Score: Highest in the range; The others sit a little behind, all in Good.

A different meat for a dog tired of chicken, as long as chicken fat is no problem.

A dehydrated meat protein heads every list, chicken in three recipes and lamb in the fourth, with Baldo rice and maize carrying the starch. Anchovy appears twice in each, as meal and as oil, alongside refined chicken oil. Protein runs from 27.2% to 30.4% of dry matter and the carbohydrate estimate from 45.2% to 49.4%.

The supporting list is the same throughout: yeast, carob and beet pulp for digestion, a mannan oligosaccharide prebiotic, a botanical tail and a Phenomind blend at 0,024%. What changes is the meat share and the fat and fibre.
