Burgess Supadog Originals Adult: Rich In Tasty Beef review

Name: Burgess Supadog Originals Adult: Rich In Tasty Beef
Brand: Burgess

34.6/100Average

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.

Against the range

Meat: Beef 4% in meat and bone meal; The loosest construction of the three.
Vitamin E: 60 mg/kg; 65 on the chicken, 100 on the salmon.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 57.7%; 51.1% on the salmon, 61.4% on the chicken.

The plainest of the trio for a dog with no sensitivities.

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.
