Edgard & Cooper Adult Bio-Organic Kibble: Beef & Free-range Chicken review

Name: Edgard & Cooper Adult Bio-Organic Kibble: Beef & Free-range Chicken
Brand: Edgard & Cooper

48.1/100Average

DryAdult

Flavour

An organic kibble from the chicken down to the chamomile, and both recipes sit in our Average band. It is a grain-led everyday food built on one 25% fresh meat entry, so the animal share is modest. What it does better than most is tell you what is in it: even the herbs carry a percentage.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who buy organic on principle; the certification runs through the meat, grains and herbs
Dogs that do well on grains, with organic whole rice and millet carrying the bowl
A dog needing a lighter bowl. The turkey recipe is declared at 12.5% fat
Taurine dosed in print at 1000 mg per kilo on both labels
Readers of small print, as almost nothing hides behind a category word

Worth watching

Organic pork gravy on both, so neither recipe is pork free
The beef and turkey in the names are 5%; chicken leads both at 25%
Carbohydrate at 46.4% and 47.7% of dry matter, a grain-led bowl by design

The score, in context

Beef 48.1
Free-range Turkey 47.0

All two Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Very little separates the two, and the beef keeps a fraction ahead on protein and processing.

What's in it

Organic fresh chicken25%Weighed fresh, so it counts for less once the oven takes the water out.
Organic whole riceDoes most of the carrying.
Organic rice proteinA plant protein that lifts the declared figure; dogs digest it less completely than meat.
Organic whole milletGluten free, with B vitamins and iron.
Organic fresh beef5%The animal in the name, a junior partner.
Organic chicken fat
Minerals
Organic pork gravyThe palatant, and the reason this is not pork free.
Organic carrot, tomato, kale, coconut, fennel0.04% eachA flourish, and the label says so by printing the share.
Organic nettle, blackberry leaves, caraway, chamomile, balm

Vitamins A, D3 and E, taurine, copper, zinc as the oxide, iodine and selenium as sodium selenite, the plainer of the two selenium forms.

Contains pork through the gravy, even though pork is not in the name.

Against the range

Second animal: Organic fresh beef, 5%; Turkey at 5% in the other recipe.
Fat: 14.5%; 12.5% on the turkey.
Energy: 377.8 kcal per 100g; 363.6 on the turkey.
Oats and fruit: None; The turkey adds oats, peas, chia, pear and apple.

The richer of the pair, and the one to try on a dog that needs persuading to finish a meal.

Both recipes open on organic fresh chicken at 25%, weighed before cooking, with no dried meat behind it. The second animal (beef in one, turkey in the other) comes in at 5%. Organic whole rice and millet do the carrying, and organic rice protein sits third on both lists, lifting the declared protein with plant protein.

Organic pork gravy is on both labels. The botanicals at the tail are printed down to 0.04% each. Protein is 27.2% of dry matter on both; fat and the turkey recipe's oats and fruit are where they part.
