Briantos Adult: Chicken & Rice review

Name: Briantos Adult: Chicken & Rice
Brand: Briantos

51.8/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

Simple, filling everyday kibble for a dog with no sensitivities, and only the chicken version reaches Good. Read the flavour names with one eyebrow raised: poultry is the foundation of all three, and the lamb and salmon are 5% additions. Grains do most of the work.

Worth watching

Poultry leads all three, so the lamb and salmon names describe a 5% addition
Poultry, pork and fish together in every version, which rules the range out for elimination feeding
Carbohydrate at an estimated 54.9% of dry matter in the chicken and lamb

The score, in context

Chicken 51.8
Lamb 49.0
Salmon 47.1

Three recipes across Good and Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing here is a red flag: a poultry base, small named meats and high starch shape all three, and only the chicken reaches Good.

What's in it

Named ingredients

Dried poultry protein (17.5%, incl. 14% chicken), rice (17.5%), maize, barley, millet, poultry fat, dried pork protein, desugared dried beet pulp, protein hydrolysate, dried peas, dried yeast, fish oil, sodium chloride, potassium chloride. _

Against the range

Named meat: 14% chicken; 5% lamb or salmon on the others.
Rice: 17.5%; 15% on the other two.
Band: Good; Average on the other two.

The pick of the three, and the only one to reach Good.

All three rest on dried poultry protein, rice, maize, barley and millet, with poultry fat, dried pork protein, protein hydrolysate and fish oil behind. Poultry names a family of birds, so the recipe can flex from batch to batch. Protein finishes at 23.4% to 24.5% of dry matter, and estimated carbohydrate at 53.8% to 54.9%.

Every vitamin and mineral carries a printed dose, with some of the zinc chelated. Only the named meat changes, and on two of the three it is a 5% addition.
