Burgess Supadog Finest Greyhound & Lurcher review

Name: Burgess Supadog Finest Greyhound & Lurcher
Brand: Burgess

43.7/100Average

DryAdult

An unfussy, one-bag answer for sighthounds, and it sits in our Average band. Wheat leads, poultry meal at 12.5% brings the animal protein and a printed pinch of glucosamine nods to the joints. Protein converts to just 18.5% of dry matter.

Our view

Likely to suit

A retired racing greyhound settling into pet life
Lurchers: a recipe sized for a deep-chested, light-framed dog
Dogs that put weight on off the track. Fat is 8.0% and beet pulp fills
Stiff or ageing joints, with glucosamine printed at 0.015%

Worth watching

Wholegrain wheat heads the list
Only 11% of the 12.5% poultry meal is named as chicken
Fish oil at 1%, so not fish free

The score, in context

The shortfall is structural, a cereal-forward build; there is nothing risky on the label.
