Cooper & Co Grain Free Adult review

63.8/100Good

DryAdult

A turkey recipe that shows every part of its working, and it sits in our Good band. The label splits the 50.5% headline into freshly prepared turkey, dried turkey, turkey fat and turkey gravy, each with its own figure. Protein is declared at 28.0%, though pea protein lends a hand.

Our view

Likely to suit

Moving a dog off chicken while keeping it on poultry
Dogs that need the protein, with the bird supplying most of it
Grain free households. Sweet potato at 25% and lentils replace the cereal
Dogs with stiffening joints: glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate are each written in at 0.04%
Owners who like the animal share broken out down to the gravy

Worth watching

Salmon oil at 1%, so a little fish is in the bag
Pea protein fairly high up. Part of the 28.0% is plant
Minerals as a single heading, with no doses to read

The score, in context

Cooper & Co Grain Free Adult 63.8

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Named species, a printed moisture figure and a restrained plant side earn it a place level with the middle of the shelf; pea protein and an undosed mineral heading keep it there.

What's in it

Freshly prepared turkey27.5%Largely water, and loses most of it in cooking.
Dried turkey17%The entry underwriting the protein in the finished kibble.
Turkey fat, turkey gravy4.5%, 1.5%Counted inside the headline, and named to the species.
Sweet potato25%The main starch, slow-burning, with fibre and pigment.
Lentils
Pea proteinA refined by-product that lifts the protein figure cheaply. Safe, but no match for animal protein in quality or digestibility.
Beet pulpFermentable fibre.
Salmon oil1%Long chain marine omega 3, and the one entry that is not turkey.
Brewer's yeast, minerals, dried carrotMinerals given as a heading with no figures.
Chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine, FOS, MOS0.04% each for the joint pairSmall doses, but printed.
