Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the named animal at half the bag or better, fresh and dried shown separately
Dogs kept off cereal: sweet potato, potato and peas supply the starch
Fussy eaters. A dog off chicken has four other animals to try
A slightly delicate digestion, with FOS at 96 mg/kg and MOS at 24 mg/kg on every bag

Worth watching

The omega 3 supplement has no source given, so no bag can be promised fish free
Vegetable stock on every list without the vegetables named
Carbohydrate close to the typical adult dry food

The most meat on the label, and an easy first bag for most dogs.

One grain-free recipe across five animals. Each bag declares its meat at 50% or more and splits it into freshly prepared, dried and stock or fat. The fresh share runs from 28% to 36% and the dried from 12% to 21%, which counts for more after cooking. Sweet potato leads the plant side at 23% to 26%, with potato and peas behind it.

Linseed and an unsourced omega 3 supplement carry the fats, beet pulp the fibre, and FOS and MOS are dosed on every label. Protein converts to between 27.2% and 30.4% of dry matter and carbohydrate to between 44.0% and 47.8%. Only the garnish changes from bag to bag.
