The score, in context

Eukanuba Breed Specific Rottweiler Adult 59.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A properly named meat entry and a full panel lift it, and four cereals through the middle hold it back.

What's in it

Dried chicken and turkey25%, chicken 15%Dried before mixing, so the figure survives cooking. The label credits it with glucosamine, chondroitin and taurine.
Maize, wheatThe plainer, higher volume half of the cereals.
Pork fatA named animal fat.
Sorghum, barleyBarley for fibre; sorghum is gluten free.
Fresh chicken4%Leaves most of itself in the oven, so the two meat figures do not simply add up.
Dried beet pulp, chicken gravy2.8%
Minerals, including sodium hexametaphosphate0.38%Works on tartar.
Dried whole egg, fish oil, linseedOmega 3 comes in twice, from the fish oil and the linseed.
Fructooligosaccharides0.28%
Brewer's dried yeast

A fully dosed panel, with beta-carotene at 30mg/kg, vitamin E at 249mg/kg and L-carnitine at 50mg/kg.

No separate glucosamine or chondroitin dose: the joint compounds come from the poultry alone.
