Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want a named meat leading the label with no frills behind it
Dogs already settled on lamb and rice
A small trial first, with a 1kg bag on the shelf
Adults of any size, with calcium declared and in range at 1.52% of dry matter

Worth watching

Cereals do most of the carrying: carbohydrate at 51.9% of dry matter against the 46.2% typical
Poultry fat and a protein hydrolysate name no species, and fish oil is on the list, so read it twice before an elimination diet

What holds it in the lower part of its band is construction: more cereal than meat, and fat and protein not pinned to an animal.
