Brand: Canidae

70.9/100Excellent

DryAdultSenior

The bird-led member of Canidae's Pure family, with duck out front and turkey close behind on a short grain-free label. It sits in our Excellent band, a step ahead of the typical adult dry food. Chicken fat partway down the list is the line that decides who it suits.

Our view

Likely to suit

Duck enthusiasts, as it leads in both fresh and dried form at 16% apiece
Dogs kept off grain
Fish-avoiding dogs. Nothing on the list comes out of the water
Adults and seniors of any size

Worth watching

Chicken fat partway down, which matters for a dog with a confirmed chicken problem
Three birds in one bowl, and a gravy that does not declare its animal
