43.9/100Average

DryAdult

Certified organic from top to bottom, and that is the headline: the starred entries run from the 45% fresh chicken to the camomile in the herb mix. Rice, barley and oats carry the starch. It lands in our Average band, a step under the typical adult dry food, because the meat is all fresh and the backup protein is rice and liver hydrolysate.

A short, plainly named list, herbs spelt out from nettle to centaury

Worth watching

Chicken and grain all the way through

The score, in context

bosch Organic Adult 43.9

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

A thorough, honest label carries it, and a fresh-only meat lead with plant protein behind it holds it under the typical dry food.
