Flavour

Eden's Gourmet Range shows its arithmetic on the front: 60% animal, 40% everything else, with the parts of each printed. All three sit in our Good band. Goose, rabbit and pheasant give it some less common animals.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the animal share in writing, 60% on every label
A temperamental gut. FOS from chicory and MOS from brewers' yeast are both dosed
Dogs looking for a less common animal
Older dogs, with every label covering seniors
A short list that stops long before the usual herb parade

Worth watching

Chickpea flour and potato protein lift the protein figure without doing what meat does
Green lipped mussel in all three, so none is shellfish free
Dried rabbit in the goose and turkey recipe

Named ingredients

60% Salmon and Pheasant: Freshly Prepared Salmon HDP* (33%), Dried Salmon (13.5%), Salmon Oil (7.5%), Freshly Prepared Pheasant HDP* (4%), Salmon Gravy (2%) *Highly Digestible Protein 40% Vegetables, Botanicals and Other Functional Ingredients: Dried Sweet Potato (19%), Chickpea Flour, Pea Fibre, Tapioca (3%), Potato Protein, Minerals, Dried Chicory Root Extract (as a source of Fructooligosaccharides (Prebiotic FOS;0.1%/1150 mg/kg)), Turmeric (0.1%), Brewers' Yeast Extract (as a source of Mannan-oligosaccharides (Prebiotic MOS 0.1 %/315 mg/kg)), Green Lipped Mussel (0.1%)

Against the range

Meat: Salmon three ways, pheasant 4%; Duck and goose lead the others.
Fish oil: Salmon oil 7.5%; The other two use duck or turkey fat.
Calcium, dry matter: 1.36%; The goose and turkey reads 1.74%.

The natural choice for a dog who does well on marine fats.

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.
