Our view

Likely to suit

Large breed adults whose joints deserve the help: glucosamine and MSM at 170mg/kg each, chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg
Owners who like their fats named
Cereal-free homes, with sweet potato at 24% and peas at 7%
Turkey eaters. No other animal appears on the list
A leaner meat than chicken that feeds just as well

Worth watching

An omega 3 supplement with no named source, so it cannot be called fish free
Pea protein and potato protein, which raise the analysis without adding meat
Written for grown large breeds, so a large breed puppy needs a growth label
