Cobbydog Adult review

Name: Cobbydog Adult
Brand: Cobbydog

29.5/100Poor

DryAdultSenior

Dog feeding at its most traditional, and low in fat. Wheat comes first and second on the label, meat and bone meal at 20% does the protein work, and fat is held to 7%. It sits in our Poor band because the meat is unnamed and the cereal share is high.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Good doers and dogs prone to padding
Multi-dog homes feeding adults and seniors from one large bag
Hardy, unfussy eaters with no known sensitivities
Owners who want a plain ration with a modest analysis

Worth watching

Meat and bone meal never names its animal
Wheat first and second, so no good for a wheat or gluten issue
Fish meal at 1.25%, so not quite fish free

The score, in context

Cobbydog Adult 29.5

All one Poor. Typical dry food: Good.

The band is a statement about unnamed meat and a cereal-heavy build, not about safety; for an easy keeper with no sensitivities it need not matter in the bowl.

Against the range

One traditional kibble in one big bag. Wheat and wheatfeed lead, meat and bone meal at 20% brings the protein, maize follows, and chicken oil and a little fish meal finish it. Moisture is not declared, so the dry matter figures assume 8%.
