Canagan Working Dog review

Name: Canagan Working Dog
Brand: Canagan

78/100Excellent

DryPuppyAdult

Canagan's grain-free poultry recipe scaled up for dogs that earn their dinner, and an Excellent-band kibble. Chicken and turkey make up 56.1% of the label and energy runs to 403 kcal per 100g. The supplement bench is unusually deep, from a heavily dosed joint trio to added taurine.

Likely to suit

Working and sporting dogs, with 19% fat to fund long days
Multi-dog homes, one bag covering every life stage and size
The joint trio, taurine and vitamins all printed with doses
Dogs that do better without grain. Sweet potato and potatoes stand in

Worth watching

Salmon oil on the list, if you feed strictly fish free
Chicken and turkey together, unhelpful for isolating one bird
Trim portions for a dog between working seasons

The score, in context

Canagan Working Dog 78.0

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

It clears the typical dry food the plain way: over half the recipe is named poultry, carbohydrate stays moderate and the additive panel is printed in full.
