Eukanuba Adult Medium Breed review

Name: Eukanuba Adult Medium Breed
Brand: Eukanuba

60.3/100Good

DryAdult

A traditional chicken-first kibble done the established way, and it sits in our Good band. The extra that sets it apart is in the minerals: sodium hexametaphosphate at a printed 0.35%, there to slow tartar.

Our view

Likely to suit

Named poultry leading the label
Medium-sized adult dogs, the build it is designed around
Dogs that digest grain comfortably
Owners keeping an eye on teeth, with a mineral added to slow tartar

Worth watching

Wheat and maize, for a dog with a grain history
Unnamed poultry fat, so not a chicken-only recipe on an elimination diet
Glucosamine and chondroitin from the chicken only, with no printed levels

The score, in context

Eukanuba Adult Medium Breed 60.3

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A steady middle-of-the-field food: a respectable named-meat share on a grain-led base, with a label that declares most of what an owner wants.

Named ingredients

Dried chicken and turkey (25% including chicken 18%, a natural source of glucosamine, chondroitin and taurine), fresh chicken (16%), barley, maize, wheat, poultry fat, sorghum, oats, dried beet pulp (3%), chicken gravy, minerals (including sodium hexametaphosphate 0.35%), fructooligosaccharides (0.25%, a natural prebiotic), dried whole egg.

Against the range

A single chicken-first kibble: dried chicken and turkey at 25%, fresh chicken at 16%, then five grains. A dosed tartar-control mineral, beet pulp, a prebiotic and dried egg close the list.
