65.2/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

The brand's grain-free recipe tuned for big dogs, with the animal at half the recipe and a dosed joint trio on the label. One bag is turkey, the other salmon with trout. Both sit in our Good band, level with the typical adult dry food.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large breed adults, the dogs the kibble and feeding table are sized for
Heavy dogs whose joints need looking after, with glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin each given a dose
Any dog that has to avoid grain
Choosing between poultry and fish on the same construction

Worth watching

Only a 15kg bag, so no small bag for a first trial
An omega 3 supplement with no source named
Carbohydrate at an estimated 47.3% of dry matter, a shade above the 46.2% typical

All two Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Against the range

Animals: Salmon and trout, fish only; Turkey only on the other.
Plant protein: None added; Pea and potato protein on the turkey.
Protein and processing: Good; Average on the turkey.

The pick for a big dog kept off land meats.

Each variety declares its animal at 50% with the split printed, leaning on a proper dried share so the protein survives the oven. Sweet potato leads the plant side, then peas and potato, with no grain. Glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 170 mg/kg each and chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg are on both labels, with FOS and MOS printed too.

The vague entries are few: an omega 3 supplement with no source, and vitamins and minerals as single words with no itemised panel.
