65.5/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

Four Good grain-free kibbles built on one plan, with only the animal swapped. Each label shows how its 50% meat headline was reached, fresh, dried and stock printed separately, which few dry foods bother to do.

Our view

Likely to suit

Rotation feeders, since the recipe shape never changes
Dogs that need a new protein. Pork is still uncommon in dog food and has a recipe of its own here
Owners keeping cereal out of the bowl
A delicate gut, with beet pulp and a measured prebiotic pair on every label
Fish eaters, through the salmon and trout

Worth watching

An omega 3 supplement with no source named, so no bag can be promised fish free
Pea protein in the lamb, lifting the analysis without adding meat

Carbohydrate, dry matter: 51%; 42.9% to 44.5% on the others.
Mineral panel: Its own, dosed higher; The other three share one panel.

The leanest bag here, with starch taking up some of the room the fat leaves.

Every bag declares 50% of a named meat and prints how it was built: freshly prepared meat, dried meat and stock, each with its own share. Protein reads 26% as fed on all four. Sweet potato binds every recipe at 22% to 26%, with peas at 9% and potato behind, and there is no cereal anywhere.

Linseed and an unsourced omega 3 supplement handle the fats, and every label doses FOS at 96 mg/kg and MOS at 24 mg/kg. What changes is the animal, the fat level and a small botanical at the end of each list.
