Our view

Likely to suit

Small and medium adults who thrive on fish, with no land meat in the protein
Grain-free feeding, on sweet potato and dried potato
Dogs that do better on a concentrated meat entry, as meal arrives with its water already out
Busy smaller dogs: fat converts to 16.3% of dry matter
Owners who want the dental and gut extras named and dosed

Worth watching

Pork fat on the list, so a strict fish-only trial is out
The fish is never named, so the species can shift between batches
No added joint supplement
