Burgess Supadog Originals Adult: Rich In Salmon review

Name: Burgess Supadog Originals Adult: Rich In Salmon
Brand: Burgess

47.1/100Average

DryAdult

Flavour

Three plain, wheat-led kibbles flavoured with salmon, beef or chicken, all in our Average band. The salmon carries the largest named share at 16% salmon meal. For an untroubled dog whose owner wants a familiar, no-frills bowl, they still do the basic job.

Our view

Likely to suit

Multi-dog homes, every flavour coming as a 12.5kg bag
Easy, unfussy eaters and owners who want a short label to decode
A taste for fish, the salmon being the one where the headline meat is the biggest named entry
Adults of any build, toy to giant

Worth watching

Unnamed animal entries in all three, so none can support an elimination diet
Sugar and glycerol in the beef and chicken
Small named meat shares in the beef and chicken, wheat doing the carrying

The score, in context

Rich In Salmon 47.1
Rich In Tasty Chicken 38.0
Rich In Tasty Beef 34.6

All three Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Wheat at the head, modest meat portions and unnamed animal entries hold all three back, with the salmon reading strongest.

What's in it

Named ingredients

Wholegrain Wheat, Salmon Meal (16%), Wholegrain Maize, Dried Peas, Maize Gluten Meal, Poultry Fat, Wheat Feed, Dried Beet Pulp (3%), Minerals, Poultry Gravy, Yeast (Brewer's Yeast and Grains), Soya Bean Meal Feed, Dehulled*, Fish Oil (0.7%), Chicory Root Extract (as a source of Fructo-oligosaccharides (Prebiotic FOS0.2%)), Oat Feed. *Produced from genetically modified soya

Against the range

Meat: Salmon meal 16%; Beef 4% and chicken 9% inside wider meal entries.
Protein, as fed: 23.5%; 20% on the beef, 19% on the chicken.
Sugar and glycerol: None; On both the others.

The strongest of the three, though poultry fat and gravy keep it from being fish only.

Wholegrain wheat leads all three lists, with wheat feed, the lower-grade fraction left from milling, further down. Poultry fat, poultry gravy, dried peas and genetically modified soya bean meal feed run through the range, and trace minerals are the standard inorganic forms, selenium as sodium selenite. What varies is the animal: salmon meal at 16% in one, beef at 4% inside meat and bone meal in another, chicken at 9% inside poultry meal in the third. Only the beef and chicken add sugar and glycerol.
