Caboodle Superfood Adult Dry Food: Angus Beef review

Name: Caboodle Superfood Adult Dry Food: Angus Beef
Brand: Caboodle

77.6/100Excellent

DryAdult

Flavour

Four flavours on one simple build, all in our Excellent band: 65% of each recipe from a single named animal, on sweet potato and beans. The execution varies more than the format suggests, and the Angus Beef is the strongest of them. Choose by the animal your dog does well on.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the headline animal named and weighed
Dogs that manage better without grain
Stiff or ageing beef eaters, as the Angus Beef carries a dosed joint pack
Homes that rotate proteins, red meat to bird to fish, on the same build

Worth watching

An unnamed omega 3 source in every flavour
Higher mineral loads in the lamb and duck, ash at 12% and 9.5%
Joint support only in the Angus Beef

The score, in context

Angus Beef 77.6
Scottish Salmon 73.8
English Country Duck 70.9
British Grass-Fed Lamb 70.0

All four Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Closer together than the analyses suggest, with the beef at the front and the lamb's mineral load keeping it at the back.

What's in it

Freshly prepared Angus beef35%Mostly water, which leaves in the oven.
Dried beef25%Does much of the protein work.
Beef fat5%
Sweet potato, beansThe starch, with no grain in the recipe.
Beet pulpGentle fibre.
Dried superfood blend: carrot, green beans, cauliflower, tomato, courgetteEach entry equal to 4% fresh produce, a genuine inclusion.
Omega 3 supplementNo source named.
Minerals
Glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin sulphate178, 178 and 125 mg/kgThe joint pack, only in this flavour.
FOS, MOS, olive extract175 and 50 mg/kg

Vitamins A, D3 and E with zinc at 153 mg, the highest in the range, and iron, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium, all dosed.

The omega 3 supplement names no source, so a strict elimination plan cannot treat the recipe as fully closed.

Named ingredients

65% Beef (Freshly Prepared Angus Beef (35%), Dried Beef (25%), Beef Fat (5%)), Sweet Potato, Beans, Beet Pulp, Dried Superfood Blend* (Including Carrot, Green Beans, Cauliflower, Tomato, Courgette), Omega 3 Supplement, Minerals, Joint Pack (Glucosamine 178 mg/kg, Methylsulfonylmethane 178 mg/kg, Chondroitin Sulphate 125 mg/kg), Fructooligosaccharides (175 mg/kg), Mannanoligosaccharides (50 mg/kg), Olive Extract (0.01%) *Each equivalent to 4% fresh ingredients

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 41.3%; 29.9% to 34.8% in the others
Ash: 6.5%; 9% to 12%
Joint pack: Yes, dosed; None in the other three
Calcium, dry matter: 1.2%; 1.96% to 2.61%

The strongest analysis in the range and the one to pick for a stiffening beef eater.

Four flavours, each 65% from one named animal: a 35% fresh portion, a dried share of 22% to 25%, and fat, stock or gravy from the same species. Sweet potato and beans do the binding with no grain, and a dried superfood blend changes with the flavour.

Protein converts to 29.9% to 41.3% of dry matter and carbohydrate to 29.9% to 38.6%. Ash is where they part: 6.5% on the beef, up to 12% on the lamb. Every flavour has an omega 3 supplement with no named source.
