Flavour

Three grain-free kibbles where declared animal content does the feeding, with Fish Medley in our Outstanding band and the other two just behind in Excellent. Every recipe prints its meat splits and doses its joint trio. One bag covers puppies and adults alike.

Our view

Likely to suit

Muddy, busy, high-output dogs. Energy runs up to 406 kcal/100g
A puppy and an adult fed from the same bag
Owners who want meat doing the feeding, with carbohydrate well under the dry-food norm
Hard-working joints: glucosamine and MSM dosed on every label, chondroitin beside them
Small portions, since these are dense recipes

Worth watching

Energy dense. A gentle stroller fed to the bag's top line will thicken quickly
Every recipe blends several animal species, so a single-protein elimination plan cannot run on this range

Against the range

Animal content: 80% from four species; Salmon 67% in Fish Medley; chicken first in the Original.
Protein, dry matter: 41.3%; Highest of the three; 38.0% in Fish Medley.
Fat, as fed: 19%; 20% in Fish Medley, 15% in the Original.
Energy: 402 kcal/100g; 374 to 406 across the range.

The flagship, built for dogs with genuine work to do.

All three are grain free, with sweet potato, tapioca, lentils and chickpeas doing the binding in small amounts. Estimated carbohydrate runs from 26.6% to 29.9% of dry matter and protein from 38.0% to 41.3%. Every label doses glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin, with MOS and FOS prebiotics, and part of the trace mineral panel is chelated.

A long tail of fruits, herbs and botanicals closes each list. Calcium sits between 1.3% and 1.41% of dry matter, which backs the puppy and adult labelling. What changes is the animal: four meats in Farmland Feast, fish in Fish Medley, chicken first in the Original.
