28.3/100Poor

DryAdult

The plainest recipe you are likely to read this year, and it sits in our Poor band. Five lines, all category names, with derivatives of vegetable origin above the meat. Fat at 12% and 357 kcal per 100g give a scoop some push for a dog that works off what it eats.

The details

Dog fit

Written for adult dogs only, so puppies and pregnant dogs need a recipe designed for them. A working dog burning more will need a bigger scoop than the guide suggests.

The score, in context

Country Pursuit Original 28.3

All one Poor. Typical dry food: Good.

The score follows from a label that keeps its contents to itself, and says nothing about a specific fault in the bowl.

What's in it

CerealsFirst by weight, no grain named.
Derivatives of vegetable originListed above the meat.
Meat and animal derivativesThe legal term for parts of slaughtered land animals, from very good material to very poor. No species named.
Oils and fatsAnything from a fine poultry fat to tallow, so the fat that gives the energy is unidentified.
Minerals

Vitamins A, D3 and E with iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine and selenium, all dosed: complete and open, whatever the main list withholds.

No named ingredient anywhere, so this cannot be used to rule anything out.

Named ingredients

Cereals, Derivatives of Vegetable Origin, Meat and Animal Derivatives, Oils and Fats, Minerals.

Against the range

Five category names make up the whole list, with plant material ahead of any animal. The additive panel is the open part: vitamins and every trace element dosed per kilo.
