Chapel Farm Invest 'N' Digest review

Name: Chapel Farm Invest 'N' Digest
Brand: Chapel Farm

56.8/100Good

DryAdult

A plain-speaking kibble for the biggest dogs, anchored by lamb meal at a minimum of 28% on a wheat and maize base. The name is the brief, and the gut is where the recipe puts its effort. It sits in our Good band, level with the typical adult dry food.

Our view

Likely to suit

Giant breeds and other big dogs, the size this recipe is pitched at
Stomachs that need a little looking after: beet pulp, prebiotic MOS and yucca all make the label
Owners who want protein anchored by a named meat meal
Dogs that get through a serious amount of food, from a single 15kg bag

Worth watching

Wheat leads the label and maize sits close behind, so grain-avoiding dogs are not catered for
Chicken fat and lamb digest join the lamb meal, so it is not a single-animal food

The score, in context

Chapel Farm Invest 'N' Digest 56.8

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

An everyday kibble scoring like one: cereals carry much of the load, and the named lamb meal and real digestive extras keep it honest.

What's in it

WheatOpens the list.
Lamb mealmin 28%Dried, so it packs more protein into the weight than fresh meat.
Maize
Chicken fatA named fat, and a second species in the bowl.
Lamb digestA palatant coating for flavour, not a digestive aid.
Beet pulpGentle fibre with a long record for firming stools.
Minerals
Mannan oligosaccharides, yucca schidigeraA prebiotic, and yucca to take the edge off wind.
Blackcurrant, rosehipCharacter, not nutrition.

Every vitamin and trace mineral carries a dose, and part of the zinc comes as a chelate, the form that absorbs more readily.
