Briantos Maxi Adult review

Name: Briantos Maxi Adult
Brand: Briantos

53.1/100Good

DryAdult

A big-bag kibble for big dogs, built on poultry and rice and landing in our Good band. The label pins 17.5% of the recipe to chicken by name, a fixed point many foods at this level lack. Green-lipped mussel extract near the end is a nod to the joints under a heavy frame.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large adults. The feeding table starts at 20kg and runs to 90kg
Owners who like a joint gesture built in, as green-lipped mussel is a natural source of omega 3
Dogs that do well on grain: rice, barley, maize and millet share the carbohydrate
Chicken-eating dogs, with 17.5% of the recipe fixed to chicken

Worth watching

Dried pork protein mid-list, easy to miss on a poultry-fronted bag
Fish oil, maize and barley all appear, for owners steering around any of them

The score, in context

Briantos Maxi Adult 53.1

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A solidly middling recipe with no standout in either direction: chicken named at 17.5% helps, while the carbohydrate and the vaguer entries hold it back.

What's in it

Dried poultry protein21%17.5% of the recipe is chicken by name. The rest of the poultry never names its bird.
Rice20%Digests well and leads the grains.
Barley, maizeMaize is the least loved of the grain bench: adequate, no more.
Poultry fatUnnamed bird.
Beet pulpThe fibre.
Dried pork proteinA good, palatable meat, and a surprise on a poultry-branded label.
Protein hydrolysate, millet, dried pea, dried yeastMillet is gluten free; the yeast adds B vitamins.
Fish oilSteady omega 3 work.
Salt, green-lipped mussel extract, potassium chlorideThe mussel comes without a printed dose, so read it as intent.

A full vitamin panel including the B group, with part of the zinc chelated for better absorption, plus copper, iodine and selenium.

No moisture figure on the label, so the dry-matter numbers assume a standard 8%.
