Our view

Likely to suit

Toy and small-breed adults: the chart runs from 1kg to 10kg
One named animal doing most of the work, declared at 50% to 55% and itemised
Little dogs kept off cereal. Sweet potato, potato and peas carry the starch
A printed prebiotic pair, 96 mg/kg and 24 mg/kg on every bag

Worth watching

An unsourced omega 3 supplement, so the chicken and lamb cannot be promised fish free
Pea protein behind the lamb, so some of that protein is plant
Salmon and trout named together, not precise enough for strict elimination work

The score, in context

Salmon 66.3
Lamb 65.1

Three recipes across Excellent and Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The differences are small and the chicken has the edge on paper, so pick by the animal first.

Named ingredients

Chicken 55% (contains 27% Freshly Prepared Chicken, 26% Dried Chicken, & 2% Chicken Stock), 26% Sweet Potato, Peas, Beet Pulp, Potato, Linseed, Omega 3 Supplement, Vitamins & Minerals, Vegetable Stock, Marjoram, Basil, Oregano, Sage, Thyme, Parsley, Fructooligosaccharides (96 mg/kg), Mannanoligosaccharides (24 mg/kg).

Against the range

Dried meat: 26%; 18% lamb, 20% salmon
Protein, dry matter: 30.4%; 27.2% to 28.3%
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 41.4%; 44.5% to 45.7%

The most dried meat and the most protein, which is why it leads the three.

The named animal supplies at least half of each recipe, split between freshly prepared and dried meat with a little stock. Dried meat survives the oven in quantity, so that share does most of the protein work. Sweet potato is the biggest plant entry, at 22% to 26%, with potato and peas behind it and no grain anywhere.

Linseed, an omega 3 supplement and the same prebiotic doses sit on all three, and the added minerals are sulphates with printed doses. What varies is how much meat is dried, the pea protein in the lamb and the named salmon oil in the fish.
