Cobbydog Original review

Name: Cobbydog Original
Brand: Cobbydog

44/100Average

DryAdult

An old-fashioned everyday biscuit, cereal first, and it lands in our Average band. The beef is the honest part: dehydrated at 17%, so all of it reaches the finished biscuit. Wheat and maize carry most of the rest.

Our view

Likely to suit

A plain beef-flavoured everyday ration with nothing exotic to puzzle over
A dog that carries weight easily, with fat at 8.6% of dry matter
A toy breed and a giant in one kitchen. The guide runs from 6.5kg dogs to 36kg
A bigger sack in the cupboard, with a 12kg bag beside the 3kg

Worth watching

Wheat leads the list, so not for a dog with a wheat or gluten sensitivity
A meat meal that only contains beef, which rules it out for a strict elimination diet
Carbohydrate at an estimated 63.3% of dry matter

The score, in context

Cobbydog Original 44.0

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Honest beef percentages and a printed panel balance against a wheat-led, cereal-heavy list, and for a plain working ration middling is no insult.

What's in it

WheatThe workhorse grain, digestible for most dogs, and the one most often behind an intolerance.
Dehydrated beef17%Beef minus the water, so all of it arrives in the biscuit.
Maize
Meat meal containing beef5%Containing beef is not quite the same as being beef.
Vitamins
Minerals

A vitamin and mineral panel dosed in print from vitamin A through zinc and copper, with calcium and phosphorus stated and salt added at 1.0%.

Salt is added at 1.0%, an entry owners of dogs with heart histories tend to watch.
