Caboodle Superfood Adult Dry Food: Scottish Salmon review

Name: Caboodle Superfood Adult Dry Food: Scottish Salmon
Brand: Caboodle

73.8/100Excellent

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.

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

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

Named ingredients

Against the range

Animal: Salmon only; Beef, lamb or duck in the others
Protein, dry matter: 34.8%; Second to the beef at 41.3%
Prebiotics: 192 and 48 mg/kg; 175 and 50 mg/kg

The range's answer when land meats are off the menu.

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.
