Cold pressedAdult

Flavour

Four cold-pressed recipes on one blueprint, all in our Excellent band, a step clear of the cold-pressed midpoint. The pellets are compressed, not baked, and crumble in liquid. Each opens on a dried, ground meat or fish at 42% or 49%, and every vitamin is printed with its dose.

Likely to suit

Dogs that bolt their dinner: the pellet crumbles in liquid where a kibble swells
Label readers, with the lead meat percentaged and every vitamin dosed
Fish-fed dogs, with an ocean fish recipe and a salmon one to move between
A puppy alongside an adult, since the Optimum Chicken is labelled for both
A lighter bowl, the Salmon and Squash being the leanest of the four

Worth watching

Soya oil in the Fish Supper and the Salmon and Squash
Brown rice in the Turkey and Vegetable, the only cereal in the range
Chicken oil in the Turkey, and a little dried duck in the Optimum Chicken

The score, in context

Fish Supper 79.5
Optimum Chicken 77.6
Salmon 77.1
Turkey 76.3

All four Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

All four set the standard their format asks for, with the Fish Supper a little further up the band on its four named fish.

What's in it

Dried ground ocean fish: white fish, salmon, mackerel, herring49%Dried before it goes in, so a far bigger contribution than the same share fresh, and every species named.
Sweet potato32%Leads the carbohydrate side.
Beet pulp, peas5% eachGentle fibre, and a little plant protein.
Fish oil1.7%
Vitamins and minerals1.25%
TurmerAid: turmeric, linseed oil, black pepper, yucca, apple cider vinegar0.6%Seasoning at this inclusion, not a dose.
Carrot, chicory, apple, seaweed, fennel, nettle, sage, thyme, oreganoCharacter on top; the seaweed is the usual route to iodine.
Rapeseed oil, soya oil0.1% and 1.7%As an oil, soya carries none of the protein that causes the arguments; plan around it only if soya is already on your avoid list.

Vitamins A, D3, E, the B group, C and K, with zinc at 100 mg, iron at 30 mg and copper at 15 mg, every entry printed with its dose.

Named ingredients

Against the range

Meat: Ocean fish, 49%, four species; Salmon 49%; chicken or turkey 42%
Fat, dry matter: 12.0%; Richest of the four; 7.6% on the salmon
Calcium: Declared, 1.64% of dry matter; Printed on the Optimum Chicken too

Nearest the top of the family, on four named fish and a full panel behind them.

Each recipe leads with a dried and ground meat or fish at 42% or 49%, which counts for far more than the same share fresh, with sweet potato behind it. Beet pulp and peas follow, then TurmerAid at 0.6% and a tail of vegetables, fruit, seaweed and herbs.

Carbohydrate converts to between 35.6% and 44.3% of dry matter, against 43.2% for the typical cold-pressed food. The lead animal, the fat source and a few starches change between recipes.
