Feedwell Maintenance review

Name: Feedwell Maintenance
Brand: Feedwell

29.4/100Poor

DryAdult

A lean, plain kibble in the old kennel-feed tradition, sitting in our Poor band. The whole label runs to four entries and not one names its source. The vitamin and mineral package is the one part dosed in print. Bags go up to 15kg for households where the bin empties fast.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Several dogs to feed, with large bags and a multipack on the shelf
Easy keepers. Fat is declared at only 6%
Any adult dog, toy breeds through to giants
Owners who like a short, traditional label
A dog that simply gets on with a plain food

Worth watching

Neither the cereal nor the meat meal is named, so there is nothing to go on for a known trigger
Soya oil carries the fat
No moisture or ash on the analysis, so it tells you less than most dry labels

The score, in context

Feedwell Maintenance 29.4

All one Poor. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing alarming in the bowl; the score reflects how little the label lets us verify.

What's in it

Whole cerealLeads the list. The grain could be wheat, maize, barley or a blend that changes between batches.
Meat mealIts water is already gone, so a modest inclusion still supports 18% protein. No species named.
Soya oilThe only fat.
Vitamins and minerals

Every addition dosed in print, vitamin D at 1,500 IU/kg and vitamin E at 80 mg/kg among them, with iron, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium.

Moisture and ash are not declared, so no dry matter figures can be worked out.

Named ingredients

Whole Cereal, Meat Meal, Soya Oil, Vitamins and Minerals.

Against the range

One plain maintenance kibble with a four-entry label: whole cereal, meat meal, soya oil, and vitamins and minerals. None of the entries names its source.
