66.1/100Good

DryAdult

A lamb kibble aimed squarely at the dog whose coat has lost its shine, and a dull coat is one of the few things a change of food can visibly fix. Salmon oil does the omega work, and zinc, the mineral skin leans on hardest, is dosed well. It lands in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs whose coat has gone dull. Give it several weeks to answer
A red-meat kibble, fresh and dried lamb declared separately
A bird-free bowl, as no poultry appears on the list
Dogs that do better off grain
Owners who like trace minerals in figures, zinc at 130 mg per kilo

Worth watching

Salmon oil puts fish in a lamb recipe
Ash at 10.0% and calcium at 2.28% of dry matter, toward the top for an adult
Tapioca at 18% brings energy and little else
Lentils and peas take a fair share of the plant work

Listed for adults of every size, and growth is not what it is for given the calcium. The bag's chart is generous, so let the ribs referee the portion.

The score, in context

Cooper & Co Glossy 66.1

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A single named red meat and printed minerals earn the score; the mineral load is the one thing keeping it from climbing further.
