Caboodle Superfood Adult Dry Food: British Grass-Fed Lamb review

Name: Caboodle Superfood Adult Dry Food: British Grass-Fed Lamb
Brand: Caboodle

70/100Excellent

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 lamb35%
Dried lamb22%Higher ash here points to more bone in it.
Lamb fat, lamb gravy5%, 3%Gravy in place of stock.
Sweet potato, beansThe starch, with no grain in the recipe.
Beet pulpGentle fibre.
Dried superfood blend: mint, pomegranate, mulberry, broccoli, fennelEach entry equal to 4% fresh produce, a genuine inclusion.
Omega 3 supplementNo source named.
Minerals
FOS, MOS175 and 50 mg/kg
Olive extract0.01%

Vitamins A, D3 and E with zinc, iron, manganese, iodine and selenium, all dosed.

Ash at 12% and calcium at 2.61% of dry matter are the highest in the range, worth knowing for a dog on a leaner mineral intake.

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

Named ingredients

65% Lamb (Freshly Prepared Lamb (35%), Dried Lamb (22%), Lamb Fat (5%), Lamb Gravy (3%)), Sweet Potato, Beans, Beet Pulp, Dried Superfood Blend* (including Mint, Pomegranate, Mulberry, Broccoli, Fennel), Omega 3 Supplement, Minerals, Fructooligosaccharides (175 mg/kg), Mannanoligosaccharides (50 mg/kg), Olive Extract (0.01%)

Against the range

Ash: 12%; 6.5% to 9.5% in the others
Protein, dry matter: 29.9%; The gentlest; up to 41.3% in the beef
Calcium, dry matter: 2.61%; 1.2% to 2.39%

A sound lamb bowl, held a little behind the others by its mineral load.

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.
