Eden Gourmet Range: Goose and Turkey review

1. Salmon 67.9
2. Goose 67.6
3. Duck 66.8

All three Good. Typical dry food: Good.

So close together that the order tells you little; what you are really choosing is an animal.

• Freshly prepared goose (HDP)26%
• Freshly prepared turkey, dried turkey11.5%, 11%Dried meat carries more of the protein.
• Turkey fat, turkey gravy5.5%, 2%
• Dried rabbit4%Not in the name.
• Dried sweet potato18.5%
• Chickpea flour, pea fibre, potato proteinPlant protein behind the headline.
• Tapioca, minerals3% tapioca
• Chicory root extract, turmeric, brewers yeast extract1250 mg/kg FOS, 315 mg/kg MOSThe highest FOS dose of the three.
• Green lipped mussel0.1%

Taurine at 962 mg/kg, chelated trace minerals and the most selenised yeast in the range.

Dried rabbit at 4% though the name gives two birds; check it against an avoid list.

Other animals on the label

Goose, turkey, rabbit

The other two lead with one animal.

Protein, dry matter

29.9%

Highest in the range.

Carbohydrate, dry matter

37.0%

Lowest; the duck is 39.1%.

The spread of dried meat makes this the most protein-led of the three.

Every label splits 60% animal against 40% vegetables, botanicals and functional extras, and prints the parts of both. Dried sweet potato, chickpea flour and tapioca carry the starch, and potato protein appears in all three. Green lipped mussel and turmeric sit at 0.1%, and FOS and MOS are dosed in print.

In dry matter, protein runs from 28.8% to 29.9% and carbohydrate from 37.0% to 39.1%. Fat is high for a kibble at 18.5% to 19.0%. What varies is how the 60% is built: one big fresh entry, or a stack of fresh and dried meats.
