DryPuppyAdult

An active-dog kibble built for energy, with fat at 15.0% and an estimated 362 kcal per 100g. Poultry meal with a declared 32% chicken leads, and because the water is already out of a meal, that third is mostly protein. Three cereals follow it, which is why it sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Busy and working adults, given the fat and energy
Puppies and adults sharing one bag
Joints that have earned some help: green lipped mussel extract, with salmon oil behind it
A named chicken share right at the front

Worth watching

Wheat second on the list, and the poultry meal leaves its species open beyond the 32% chicken
No calcium figure, so check with Dr John before growing a large-breed puppy on it
Keep the scoop modest for a quieter dog

The score, in context

Dr John Titanium 62.2

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

It does several things right without doing any of them dramatically: the meat share pulls the reading up and the cereals pull it back.

What's in it

Poultry meal (32% chicken)32% chickenWater already out, so this is concentrated protein. The rest of the meal leaves its species open.
WheatThe one to watch in a dog prone to intolerance.
Barley, maizeBarley goes easiest on digestion; maize is dense energy.
Chicken fatNamed to its animal, and most of the 15.0% fat.
Rice, peas4% each
Chicken gravy, minerals
Salmon oil0.25%Marine omega 3.
Alfalfa, linseedPlant minerals and plant omega 3.
Mixed herbs: sage, oregano, mint, rosemary, turmeric, ginger
Green lipped mussel extract, yucca extractMussel for joints; yucca for stool odour.

No calcium figure, though the label covers puppies. For a large breed, ask the maker first.
