40.2/100Average

DryAdult

A no-frills chicken and rice kibble in a single 15kg bag, placed in our Average band. The reason is the wording more than the bowl: umbrella terms cover the grain and most of the meat. Where a plain chicken and rice dinner suits your dog, it still does the job.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that get on with chicken, the only named meat at 22%
Multi-dog homes and big appetites
Owners who read the small print. Every vitamin and mineral is dosed
Coats that do well on a little fish, from salmon oil at 1%

Worth watching

Only rice named among the cereals, so the rest can change between batches
The meat entry beyond the chicken is unnamed
Salmon oil, so no fish-free bowl

The score, in context

Chapel Farm Original 20 40.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The shortfall is mostly a transparency story, and none of it points to anything harmful.
