DryPuppyAdult

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.

Where to buy: coming soon

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

The score, in context

Three recipes across Outstanding and Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The strongest corner of the Ci range, with Fish Medley edging ahead and all three well clear of the typical dry food.

Against the range

Meat: Chicken 37% fresh, 21% dried; Duck leads Farmland Feast; salmon leads Fish Medley.
Fat, as fed: 15%; Leanest; 19% and 20% elsewhere.
Energy: 374 kcal/100g; 402 and 406 in the other two.

The gentlest of the three and a sensible default for the everyday active dog.

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.
