Cobbydog Golden Delight review

Name: Cobbydog Golden Delight
Brand: Cobbydog

53.8/100Good

DryAdult

A traditional beef kibble with one odd extra: TurmerAid at 0.6%, a turmeric supplement rarely found inside a mainstream bag. Wheat comes first, and the beef arrives as meat meal at 21% and dehydrated beef at 10%. It sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do well on beef, the only named meat
Stiff older dogs, with TurmerAid included for its joint-soothing reputation
Laid-back or weight-prone dogs, as fat is kept to 8.8% of dry matter
Homes feeding everything from terriers upwards; the table runs from 1kg past 60kg

Worth watching

Chicken oil sits mid-list, so the label is not single-species for elimination feeding
Glucose is added sugar, there for taste
Wheat, barley and maize all feature

The score, in context

Cobbydog Golden Delight 53.8

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The cereal-first build and the chicken oil hold it level, while the declared beef percentages and an honest label pull the other way.

What's in it

WheatFirst place on the list.
Protein pellets containing beef meat meal21%Already dried, so the declared figure carries through more or less intact.
Dehydrated beef10%
Barley, maizeWith the wheat, carbohydrate reaches an estimated 56.6% of dry matter against a typical 46.2%.
Chicken oilThe main animal fat, and the reason the recipe is not strictly beef only.
Soya oil
GlucoseSugar, added for palatability.
Peas
TurmerAid0.6%A pelleted turmeric blend. At this level it is a nudge, short of a treatment.
Vitamins and minerals

Vitamins A, D3 and E, and copper at 12mg is the only mineral dosed, a short panel by modern standards.

Glucose, an added sugar, is on the list for taste.

Named ingredients

Wheat, Protein Pellets Containing Beef Meat Meal 21%, Dehydrated Beef 10%, Barley, Maize, Chicken Oil, Soya Oil, Glucose, Peas, TurmerAid™ (0.6%), Vitamins and Minerals

Against the range

Wheat opens the label, with barley and maize behind it, and beef is the only meat named, split between meat meal and dehydrated beef. Chicken oil and soya oil supply the fat.
