A short grain-free kibble on two red meats, bison and lamb, sitting in our Good band. The whole list fits on one line and every entry but the gravy says what it is. Protein converts to 27.8% of dry matter and carbohydrate is held to 40.0%.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept clear of cereal, with starch from sweet potato, chickpeas and peas
A red meat recipe, bison and dried lamb between them
A meatier bowl than most kibble
An older dog and a younger adult eating side by side
Active dogs, fat declared at 15.0%

Worth watching

Two meats, so no single protein trial
Gravy is the one entry that never names its contents
Generous fat for a dog whose exercise is a stroll and a snooze. Portion by the waistline

The score, in context

Canidae Pure Land 58.4

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The analysis reads better than typical, and how much of the recipe goes unquantified, with no additive panel, keeps it level instead of ahead.

What's in it

Bison13%Lean red meat, unusual in a British bowl. Not called dried, so it loses weight in cooking.
Dried lamb meat13%Water already gone, so the share is much what ends up in the kibble.
Sweet potato, chickpeas, peas13% eachThree starch carriers, none leaned on too heavily.
Canola oilThe only added fat.
Suncured alfalfaFibre and minerals; sun curing is just how it was dried.
GravyContents not given. Usually the flavour coating sprayed on after cooking.

No additive panel and no calcium figure are printed, and a third of the recipe goes unquantified.
