Country Pursuit Premium: Lamb, Rice & Tripe review

Name: Country Pursuit Premium: Lamb, Rice & Tripe
Brand: Country Pursuit

52.8/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

A traditional cereal-and-meal pair that names what goes in, and both bags sit in our Good band. Maize leads each list, and the meat arrives as dried meals that say which animal they came from. The lamb recipe adds freshly prepared tripe at 8%.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adults long settled on a cereal-based bowl
Owners who want the meals named: chicken, lamb and fish meal each say which animal
Fussier eaters. The tripe in the lamb recipe does the job it is famous for
Active medium and large dogs, the size the chicken recipe is written for
A mixed household, since the lamb recipe's guide covers every size

Worth watching

Fish meal in both bags
Chicken fat in the lamb recipe too, so it is no lamb-only exclusion diet
Maize first on both lists, the thing to check if it has troubled your dog before

All two Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Neither bag excites on the analysis; the clear naming of every meal is what holds them up.

Freshly prepared tripe8%Rich in protein, easy on digestion, and good at persuading a doubtful dog.
Sugar beet pulpSoluble and insoluble fibre.

Brewers yeast, whole linseedB vitamins and palatability from the yeast.
Minerals, sodium chloride

Vitamins A, D3 and E, with iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine and selenium all dosed per kilo.

Chicken fat and fish meal sit alongside the lamb, so it cannot anchor a lamb-only exclusion trial.

The higher protein of the pair, and the one with tripe for a picky eater.

Two cereal-based kibbles, both opening with maize. The meat comes as named dried meals: chicken meal at 20% in one, lamb meal at 17.5% with freshly prepared tripe at 8% in the other. Fish meal, sugar beet pulp, chicken fat and whole linseed appear in both, and the mineral panel is dosed in full.

Carbohydrate runs from 47.3% to 52.8% of dry matter. The finishing touches differ: chicory and yucca in the chicken bag, brewers yeast in the lamb.
