CSJ Sooper Dooper Champ review

Name: CSJ Sooper Dooper Champ
Brand: CSJ

63/100Good

DryAdult

A plain everyday kibble that sits in our Good band, alongside the typical adult dry food. Its strength is the meat: a third of the recipe arrives as pre-dried beef and chicken meal, which takes protein to 30.4% of dry matter. A dog with no cereal sensitivity gets a sound daily bowl here.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Adults that do well on a short recipe of ten entries
Red meat eaters, with beef sharing the top line with chicken
Fussy dogs. Chicken liver sits high on the list and is about as tasty as an ingredient gets
A mixed-size household, as the label runs from toy to giant

Worth watching

Wheat in second place, which rules it out for a wheat-intolerant dog
Linseed as the only omega 3, with no fish oil, so a coat may take a few weeks to answer

The score, in context

CSJ Sooper Dooper Champ 63.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Wheat and maize near the top and a combined meat declaration hold this level with the typical dry food, while the open panel lifts transparency a band.

What's in it

Beef & chicken meal34%Dried and concentrated, so a real meat share. The two animals are declared as one number, so the split is unknown.
WheatThe cereal most often involved when a dog reacts to grain.
Maize
Chicken fatEnergy, and taste.
Chicken liverDense in vitamin A, B12, copper and iron, and very palatable.
Beet pulp, alfalfaFibre, with some plant protein from the alfalfa.
LinseedPlant omega 3, which a dog converts slowly.
Minerals, Yucca schidigeraYucca is there for the garden, not the dog.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with iron, copper, manganese, iodine and selenium as sodium selenite, and zinc at a generous 125 mg/kg.

No calcium figure on the label, so it is not one to share with a growing puppy.

Named ingredients

Beef & Chicken meal (34%), Wheat, Maize, Chicken fat, Chicken liver, Beet pulp, Linseed, Alfalfa, Minerals, Yucca schidigera.

Against the range

Ten entries in all, led by a combined beef and chicken meal at 34% with wheat and maize behind it. The vitamin and mineral panel is dosed in print, with nothing a complete food must carry missing.
