Chapel Farm Performance 24 review

Name: Chapel Farm Performance 24
Brand: Chapel Farm

37.1/100Average

DryAdult

A working-style beef kibble with more protein and fat than its Original stablemate and a joint package dosed on the label. Only beef and oats are named, at 14% each. It lands in our Average band because so much of the rest is left under umbrella terms.

Our view

Likely to suit

Active and working dogs, protein at 24% and fat at 14% to fund longer days
Hard-worked joints, with glucosamine at 1000mg/kg and green lipped mussel at 200mg/kg
Kennels and multi-dog homes buying by the 15kg bag
Dogs that do well on beef and oats

Worth watching

The meat, cereal and vegetable entries are open beyond the beef and oats, so an elimination diet has nothing to work against
Salmon oil at 0.5%, so not fish free
Energy pitched for real work, so watch portions on a quieter dog

The score, in context

Chapel Farm Performance 24 37.1

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The Average reading is about how much of the label stays unnamed; for a hard-working dog with no known sensitivities it is still a purposeful feed.
