37.4/100Average

DryAdult

Flavour

A kibble for retired greyhounds living as pets, with the Greyhound Trust name on the bag and a joint package aimed at old racers. Green lipped mussel at 750mg/kg and devil's claw are the best things on the label. Both flavours sit in our Average band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adopted ex-racers, whose sofa life suits protein at 19% and fat at 10%
Sighthounds with old joints: green lipped mussel is dosed and devil's claw backs it up
Owners who like the Greyhound Trust name on what they buy
Lean frames that need calories kept steady

Worth watching

Wheat and wheat feed leading the Chicken, with poultry meal from unnamed birds
Chicken fat in both and fish in both, so neither suits a strict avoidance plan
Carbohydrate doing most of the work in each bag

The score, in context

Chicken 37.4
Fish 36.9

All two Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The two read alike on every pillar, so pick by protein; the cereal-heavy lists are what keep both at Average.

What's in it

WheatFirst on the list.
Poultry mealmin 16%The birds are not named.
Maize, wheat feedWheat feed is grain that fell short of human-food standards.
Chicken fat, chicken gravygravy min 4%The gravy does the flavour work.
Unmolassed beet pulp, yeast, minerals
Devil's claw, seaweedDevil's claw is an uncommon desert herb used for stiff joints.
Salmon oilOmega 3, and fish in a chicken-named bag.
Green lipped mussel750mg/kgA meaningful dose for joint support.
Blackcurrant, rosemary, pomegranate, rosehips, yucca schidigera, beetrootherbs 0.35% total

Vitamins A, D3 and E with a dosed trace mineral panel, zinc partly as a glycine chelate.

Salmon oil is on the list, so the Chicken is not fish free.

Named ingredients

Wheat, poultry meal (min 16%), maize, wheat feed, chicken fat, chicken gravy (min 4%), unmolassed beet pulp, yeast (source of mannan oligosaccharides), minerals, devil's claw, seaweed, salmon oil (source of omega 3 fatty acids), green lipped mussel (750mg/kg), blackcurrant, rosemary (total herbs 0.35%), pomegranate, rosehips, yucca schidigera, beetroot. Natural antioxidants.

Against the range

Lead ingredient: Wheat; Maize on the Fish.
Meat: Poultry meal, min 16%; Salmon, min 16%, on the Fish.
Fish: Salmon oil; Salmon and white fish on the Fish.

The original of the pair, for a dog that does well on wheat and poultry.

Both flavours hold protein at 19% and fat at 10%, and both carry green lipped mussel at 750mg/kg with devil's claw. Carbohydrate is estimated at 58.6% of dry matter on each, well above the 46.2% typical for adult dry food.

The base is what differs. The Chicken opens with wheat, then poultry meal at a minimum of 16% and wheat feed. The Fish opens with maize and names salmon at a minimum of 16%, with white fish further down. Chicken fat is on both labels.
