Edmondson's Adult Large Breed review

Name: Edmondson's Adult Large Breed
Brand: Edmondson's

67.6/100Good

DryAdult

A grain-free turkey kibble for big dogs that holds a place in our Good band. Turkey makes up half the recipe, split between fresh and dried, and the fat is named as turkey fat. The joint trio of glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin is dosed in print.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large and giant breed adults, the only dogs this label is written for
Joint support you can read the dose of, on a food for heavy-framed dogs
Big dogs kept off cereal. Sweet potato at 24% and potato do the binding
A lighter plant side: carbohydrate at 42.4% of dry matter against the 46.2% typical

Worth watching

Pea protein and potato protein behind the turkey, so the bird is not the source of every gram
An omega 3 supplement with no named source, which matters when ruling ingredients in and out
One bag size only, so no small bag to try first

The score, in context

Edmondson's Adult Large Breed 67.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

No single flourish lifts it; half the recipe is named turkey, the starch sits under the norm, and nothing is out of place.

What's in it

Freshly prepared turkey28%Mostly water, which cooks off in the oven.
Dried turkey18%The part that survives into the kibble in quantity.
Turkey fat4%Named to the bird, a nicer sight than a generic animal fat.
Sweet potato24%The main starch.
Peas, potatoNo grain of any kind on the list.
Beet pulpThe fibre.
Pea protein, potato proteinPlant proteins lifting the protein figure. Why the meat percentage matters more than the protein percentage.
Omega 3 supplement, linseedThe supplement names no source.
Vitamins and minerals, cranberry
Glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin sulphate, FOS, MOS170mg/kg down to 24 mg/kgJoint trio and prebiotics, all dosed.

The omega 3 supplement is not tied to a source. Worth knowing for a dog on a strict ingredient plan.
