36.9/100Average

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

MaizeFirst on the list.
Salmonmin 16%A named animal, where the Chicken names a category.
Oats, prairie meal, rice

Unmolassed beet pulp, seaweed, devil's claw
Green lipped mussel750mg/kgThe joint dose, as in the Chicken.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with a dosed trace mineral panel, more of the zinc as a glycine chelate than in the Chicken.

Chicken fat is on the list. Not suitable for a dog avoiding chicken.

Named ingredients

Natural antioxidants.

Against the range

Lead ingredient: Maize; Wheat on the Chicken.
Meat: Salmon, min 16%, and white fish; Poultry meal on the Chicken.
Grains: Maize, oats, rice; Wheat, maize, wheat feed.

The pick for a greyhound kept off wheat.

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.
